I started getting email messages that looked very personal from our grandson who is in second grade and doesn't have an email account. He pleaded for me to help him earn points towards a toy, a bubble blaster that looked like the kind of party favor given to little kids at a friend's birthday party, cheap. So I looked at the website. I just love cheddar cheese popcorn and for only $29.95 I can get a 9.5 ounce bag! Must be some pretty good popcorn at $3.15 per ounce!

So I thought, maybe a nice insulated mug for the car. They have a Yukon Outfitters 20 oz Camo mug for only $54.95. I looked at the Yukon Outfitters website, currently out of stock on the Camo mug but when in stock it is priced there at $15.99 and ones in stock are as low as $8.99 for other colors. That's a 3.4 to 6.11 markup depending on the mug.

Now I know a company has to make a profit but this is CRAZY. I'm a grandfather and great grandfather who raised 8 kids with my wife. We were PTA leaders back in the day so we had direct dealings with fundraising companies over the years. They all had some markup on their products but I've never seen anything like this.

The sad thing is, I know how these things usually work. The school lets a fundraising representative into the school for an assembly, these folks are good at what they do, like old fashioned used car salesmen; they get the kids all excited with promises of how great the prizes are and how easy getting sales will be.

Reminds me of the Music Man:
"Seventy-six trombones led the big parade
With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuoso, the cream of every famous band."

Items are overpriced and there is a very limited selection in each category. Should you choose to do a donation to the classroom instead, the minimum donation is $30! That can get costly if you have more than one grandchild in school. And there is a processing fee. You cannot do one checkout for all the students you're supporting. So you have to purchase/donate once per child. This is also hard on whoever is supporting the students. The only reason I participate is to not disappoint my grandkids as they receive "prize points" for purchases and donations. I also saw one review from a teacher complaining about poor quality items to purchase with the gift card donations they receive. That is sorry. Every year I hope their school will have a different fundraiser because this one is so bad. I would rather write a check to the school. How about candy bars? Donuts? There are lots of great fundraisers I have participated in over the years. To the schools considering Schoolstore: PLEASE choose another one.

We loved this at our school! Parents donate, and kids win prizes on top of winning giveaways where the student and school have a chance—as a teacher, getting over 600+ gift cards for the classroom. SchoolStore never fails us!

I am a teacher and love to see support from our families, but this is not the way to raise money. The prizes students receive are a bunch of junk. The store teachers use the gift cards in are filled with overpriced items. It makes me curious, how much is this company profiting from their business disguised as a fundraiser for schools?

I have absolutely loved using Caring for Classrooms this year in my class. It is my first year using it and I have gotten so many great resources for my class. I can’t wait to use it again next year!

Absolutely LOVE this fundraiser! I was able to shop with almost $700 worth of supplies for my classroom! It was super easy to register my gift cards and shop! They came quickly also!

This is a very easy website to use...especially for NON tech savvy people! The kids love getting the free give away & we get a lot of great things for our classrooms! Thank you!

I'm a long term substitute teacher with a full time classroom. I don't qualify for other programs so SchoolStore was a life saver this year!

My classroom has been blessed with Caring for Classrooms gift cards. Our classroom has been gifted almost 900.00 since last year in gift cards. I've been able to supply my classroom with educational hands on materials for my students. The students and I get excited when a box arrives of materials that were ordered. Thank you for providing this opportunity for people to help our educational facilities, teachers and students.

Caring for classrooms has helped me provide so many useful tools and supplies for my classroom. The shipping is always quick and their items are good quality.

Feeling blessed with Caring for Classrooms School Store. Who knew parents would bless me with $120 this year and I would be able to order a heavy duty electric pencil sharpener and headphones for students to use? These are everyday items that get the most wear and tear and that I purchase out of pocket yearly. So I am #winning today! #SchoolStoreMusicCity

WE LOVE SCHOOL STORE. IT IS A GREAT WAY FOR OUR PARENTS TO GIVE BACK TO THE CLASSROOM AND HELP OUR STUDENTS GET EXACTUALLY WHAT THEY NEED IN THE CLASSROOM TO ENHANCE THEIR LEARNING EXPERIENCES.

This fundraiser is GREAT!! Sooooo easy...teachers don't have to do a thing! Parents, friends, and grandparents can send money for the teacher to spend on the website! I've totally enjoyed getting to spend "free money" for my classroom to buy hundreds of dollars worth of products!

The SchoolStore encourages all to participate in the educational experience. The rewards are used to help students and teachers with support and supplies that sometimes are desperately needed. Although, items are expensive, the added money allows teachers to purchase items that they would not be able to on their own. As simple as ordering pencil sharpeners that not all districts would supply is helpful. I appreciate the added effort that our school sponser puts into setting the program up every year.

This fundraiser is amazing. Our teachers each year end up with so many gift cards. We have had teachers receive close to $1000!!!! Totally stress free! Its like free money for the school. The staff always calls and checks on us to see if we need anything or have any questions. We usually always need more prizes and they are received very quickly. Great Experience each year.

This was my first year using SchoolStore. Schoolstore has helped me save money. I have been able to purchase some needed supplies for my students that otherwise I would have purchased myself. I was able to purchase a lot of different classroom decoration.

Everything you provided to enhance and make my classroom more fun and we thank you for the supplies. My classroom loves the calendar we ordered on the site. This has been helping them stay on track of the days in the year and they always make sure the correct date is up there. I love it. They really have enjoyed everything you have provided for us from the cvc white board activity to the compound one, we love it !!!Thank you again !

This fundraiser is easy for the parents and the students love the prizes. The staff support was amazing!

The teachers and students really enjoy this fundraiser! Teachers are able to order the supplies they need. The students get super excited when their prizes are delivered to the classrooms! This also allures the other students to participate in the fundraiser.

The school store is a great insentive for teachers to get tools and resources for their classrooms.
