My boys just got their 1st School Box Club shipment and they are over the moon!
It’s the COOLEST new idea and I wanted to pass it along! Great to give as a gift to others too! All you do is set your preferences by answering a few simple questions about your child’s grade level & educational needs and based on your answers & the company curates a box just for them. Every box contains supplies, activities & workbooks based on student receiving the box. No two boxes are the same! Plus, every box purchased equals a box donated to a child in need. Through the donation boxes, kids are learning the importance of helping others! Discovering what students need to learn & what it means to give back, is what SBC is all about! Use code JENSLIST for 20% off your first box!
