Teacher Supply Store in the Bay Area?

I'd like to put in a good word for SCRAP (Scroungers' Center for Reusable Art Parts, "a source for the resourceful"). The SCRAP warehouse is packed with supplies for art and other projects, all donated by corporations (overruns of boxes, discontinued products), businesses (large squares of foam board, canvas totes left over from a convention, sample books of wallpapers, carpet remnants) and individuals (old National Geographics, picture frames, old games and toys). You can get paper, cardboard, fabric, greeting cards, calendars -- and there is always some surprise, like an amazing doll house or a life size statue of a hula girl. Interior designers and the San Francisco opera donate left over fabrics. SCRAP also runs workshops for using their materials -- mosaic, how to make a lamp or a doll or a Christmas wreath. http://www.scrap-sf.org/ 801 Toland St. in the Bayview district.

The dollartree has a lot of school supplies for teachers and classrooms. They have a ton of stuff for kids. There is one in san Bruno on el camino real and I was told there is also one off hickey blvd and skyline. They are also getting geared up to open one next to the baby's r us in colman where cost plus use to be.

There is Morrisons School Supply Store in San Carlos, the Holly Street exit off of Highway 101! It's about 45 minutes away and I think it's worth the drive.

Hi,
Morrisons school supply store is in San Carlos.
If you ask, they usually have a corner dedicated for discounted "stuff"

In the past, I have been able to find some great deals @ Staples and office depot.

also RAFT in San Jose is a large warehouse like store filled with excess supplies usually donated by private companies/other teachers.

good luck,
P.

There is a lakeshore store in the east bay in San Leandro (I think). I know there is a teacher supply store up in Rohnert Park, but I've never been to it. There is a small one in Petaluma (Early Childhood Station, or something like that). I think Morrisons is the best in the bay area.

I want to second the SCRAP plug! My own children love this place and the treasures we find! Great stuff!!!
