Back-To-School
Carolina Pad Kendall and Sasquatch Collections
First Day of Kindergarten
In a few weeks it will be Back-To-School, and I’m a little melancholy. You see, my youngest daughter recently graduated college and it’s the first time in oh how many years that I won’t be sending my prodigy off to school. At least, not for awhile, as she’s taking a break before starting on her Masters degree.
No waiving to the school bus any longer – time goes by so quickly, and the kids grow so fast!
I’ve recently had the opportunity to review a line of Back-To-School product from Carolina Pad and Paper.
Our products rock – at least that’s what our consumers tell us! With trendy design and great function, Carolina Pad notebooks, binders, and other school and office products stand out from the crowd. You might also catch a glimpse of our fashion collections, with clever names like Hot Chocolate and Pattern Play, on hit shows like 90210, Greek, and Gossip Girl.
There are two exciting lines that have been recently released, and Carolina Pad is generously offering a Giveaway to readers of Moomette’s Magnificents. Whether you homeschool or have children, nieces, nephews or grandchildren that you’ll be waiving goodbye to on the school bus, you’ll want to check out these school supplies:
Sasquatch – Leave Nothing But Tracks
Made from recycled materials, these beautifully designed notebooks, folders, binders and divider tabs also include an environmental education component that reminds young people about everyday actions they can take to become even better stewards of the environment.
The product collection is appealing to school age girls and boys as well as moms who want to teach their children to live green. Sasquatch products enable them to express their love of the environment through nature-oriented designs and to learn how they can make the world a better place.
Carolina Pad’s Sasquatch Web site, is an interactive destination designed to give visitors information on environmental issues. From interactive games to informative tips, blogs and links to additional green resources, kids can use the site to make a difference. They can also connect with Sasquatch through Twitter and Facebook.
Kendall Kollection – Inspired by a Special Little Girl
The notebooks and office supplies in this collection are not only eye-catching and beautiful, but they are also a small way for a designer and a company to give back to a little girl who was stricken with leukemia.
Here is a little more about Kendall’s story.
When Jacqueline Savage McFee, signature designer for Carolina Pad – the industry leader in trendy school, office and organizational fashion products, got the devastating news that her two-year-old cousin, Kendall Sierens, was diagnosed with leukemia, it brought things into perspective for her. It also created a spark. The Kendall Kollection – a collection of colorful high-end school supplies inspired by the artist’s young cousin – was born in 2008 and has been raising funds and awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The partnership between Jackie McFee, Carolina Pad and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society continues for 2009 with fresh new designs.
Kendall is now almost six-years old and in remission, but the battle continues for thousands of other children just like her. Carolina Pad looks forward to another year of helping The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in its effort to find cures and better therapies for patients with leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
Mothers and their daughters adore the look of the collection, but really love knowing that purchasing these products helps those in need.
Available at major national retailers including Wal-Mart, K-Mart and Office Max, as well as grocery and drug store chains.
