Target wants to help teachers stretch their back-to-school dollars on more than just supplies for their classrooms. How awesome is that?!

For the second year, the beloved retailer will offer teachers a weeklong 15% discount on select items starting July 13!

Jill Sando, Target’s senior vice president and general merchandise manager of apparel, accessories and home, said there was a “phenomenal response” during the inaugural event and teachers saved millions on classroom supplies.

“I’m excited we’re bringing the event back again this year with an expanded assortment of items eligible for the 15% discount, helping teachers save and get what they need for the upcoming school year,” Sando said.

In addition to school supplies and essentials, which include disinfecting wipes and food storage bags, adult clothing and accessories, for 2019 — Pillowfort furniture and Bullseye’s Playground items also are included.
