The first 100 teachers visiting Staples stores on Teacher Appreciation Day, Saturday, Aug. 20 from 9 a.m. to noon will receive a reusable lunch bag filled with pens, eraser caps, note tabs, a one-subject notebook, glue sticks and sticky notes.

Teacher Appreciation Day will be at Staples in Coeur d'Alene, 206 Ironwood Drive, and in Ponderay, 260 Bonner Mall Way.
