Back to School Season Starts Now

August marks the end of the summer season, with back-to-school lurking just around the corner. While vacations, BBQs, and other summer activities may still be occupying our time, it’s never too early to start getting organized for a new school year.

Soon parents will be writing out lists of essential school supplies: notebooks, planners, and other accessories to help their kids succeed. A new school year means a fresh start and new possibilities. Count on Great Lakes Wholesale to provide the supplies children need to start their school year off right.

Great Lakes Wholesale carries a wide range of back-to-school supplies for children of all ages. Read on to discover some school essentials that are sure to please both parents and kids.

1. Composition Books and Notepads

Notebooks color-coded by subject can help keep children organized and on track. Great Lakes Wholesale offers composition notebooks in an array of colors and styles. Maintaining to-do lists of homework and projects can be crucial, and many will be looking for notepads to note down important information. Both notebooks and notepads serve as staples on any school supply list, and parents will be looking to check these off their lists.

2. Pencils, Crayons, and Markers

Back to school means back to basics. All grade levels need pens and pencils, and parents will buy them in bulk. Great Lakes Wholesale carries #2 pencils and cushion grip pens in black, blue, and red.

Art supplies serve as a fun favorite while shopping for school supplies. Crayons and markers are standard on the supply list, but they also provide a way for children to show off their creativity. In addition to traditional crayons and colored pencils, Great Lakes Wholesale carries art supplies that children will love, including broad line markers, washable brush markers, and jumbo washable markers in a perfect size for smaller hands.

3. Poster Boards

Poster boards and display boards become a staple for children as they enter middle and high school. From science fairs to other presentations, children will need these items as part of their presentations. Parents may want to purchase these early in the year, before the rush begins and poster boards become much more difficult to find. Foam backed boards provide support for any project in a variety of sizes.

4. School Supply Accessories

Aside from the basics, children need a variety of other supplies to be successful in school. Many supply lists include additional items, such as glue, scissors, and rulers designed with binder holes so they don’t get lost in a backpack or desk.

Older children may need additional accessories that may not be included on official supply lists, but can be helpful for both in-school activities and homework, such as pencil sharpeners, rubber bands, white out, or paper clips.

5. Staying Organized at School & At Home

Organization can make the school year proceed smoothly, and Great Lakes Wholesale provides products that will help even the busiest students remain coordinated and on track. A 10-pack of transparent file folders can be helpful in organizing work by subject, and a dry erase board can be useful at home to keep track of tasks, activities, and special events. For busy families, clipboards can provide a sturdy surface for children completing their homework while dashing between sports and other extracurricular activities.
