Make a Wish

Teachers budgets are being stretched more than ever this year. Wish Lists are a great way to help. Parents, PTAs and PFCs can grant a teacher's wish for classroom items from the Golden Apple . We've created a form for teachers to list the items from The Golden Apple that they need for their classroom. We keep these on file at the store, and mark off items as they are purchased.
Every week or so, The Golden Apple will grant a wish for a participating teacher for Free!
Download the form here (pdf), or pick one up at the store. Start now, and before you know it, wishes may come true!

Special Announcements

The Golden Apple Learning Store is creating the first Iwako Eraser Club in North America! This amazing eraser collecting craze is sweeping across the country, but it started here, and we're inviting kids to join.

Not only are there great prizes to be won, but these amazingly detailed erasers actually work!

We granted our first wish this week! Teacher Jamie D. from Castro Valley was our lucky teacher. Jamie gets an item off her list Free! She received a Teacher Created Resources Language Arts Game "I Have, Who Has". Her name was randomly drawn from the lists submitted. Make sure your list is on file so your wishes can be granted by friends, family, parents ... even the Golden Apple!

Golden Apple Blog
