Teacher Parent Connection

Tucson’s only true teacher’s supply store. They’ve been in business for 25 years and at this location for two.
They have fun stuff here. Most of everything that you would want. (Come on over, home schooler parents!) All the fun stuff for classrooms, manipulatives, models, stickers, pencils, workbooks, etc. They have great rolls of non-​fade colored paper on rolls. Lots of colored construction paper.
I noticed that they do not have anything that has to do with music. Bummer.
Very nice and helpful lady.

I LOVE SCHOOL SUPPLIES! I really do. I love smelly markers, scratch and sniff stickers, bulletin board borders, shiny pencils, construction paper, erasers in the shape of interesting things, pencil toppers… I love it all. This could be in part because my mother is a retired teacher, or maybe because every year on Chanukah I got a box of craft supplies with which I got to do whatever I wanted or maybe it was Mrs DeSalvo who helped me avoid 7^th grade recess and let me help organize her room. In any case, I’m a fan of school supplies, so when Yvett told me about this place I couldn’t wait to go. Buuuuuuut it took me over a year. And to no fault of my own, I just didn’t need school supplies… until today.
Shopping for an upcoming event I was in school supply heaven. They have pencils, erasers, note pads, teacher resources, stickers, cut out shapes, banners, poster board, huge rolls of colored paper… everything! And what they don’t have you can either order from their website or have it delivered to the store. The woman helping today (sorry I don’t remember your name helpful woman) was awesome. I told her exactly what I needed and even though she didn’t habe anything remotely close to what I wanted, she helped me switch up my idea and set me on a path so supply success. It was awesome! I can’t wait to go back. It’s rare I need these items, but I will find a way. I will FIND A WAY!

I have a weakness for school supplies. It was a relief when my kid turned school age so that I wouldn’t have to keep justifying purchasing industrial size boxes of crayons for myself. «Because I like to see them all nice and sharpened and arrange them by shades» just wasn’t cutting it anymore. One of our teachers recommended this place to find little pencil grips that help kids learn to write. We went there and I found a treasure trove of supplies. A couple of neighbors are going the home school route, and I have absolutely told them about this place. I even found some of the elusive «Smencils» which I could only find online a couple of years ago. For such a small location, they definitely carry a whole lot of things. Right now is science fair season, so they have lots of display boards and lots of different poster boards. They do laminations and offer discounts for bulk orders. Really a must see for students, parents of students and teachers. Oh, and here is where I bought the test tubes I filled with blood (tomato soup) this past Halloween. Yeah, they really have it all!
