We all know that teachers aren’t paid what they are truly worth. In many cases teachers supply school essentials to their students directly out of their own pocket.  Target is going to help teachers stretch their back-to-school dollars on more than just basic supplies for their classrooms.

Amarillo’s Target store at 8201 I-40 West is supporting local teachers with school supplies and essentials, which include disinfecting wipes and food storage bags, adult clothing and accessories, Pillowfort furniture and Bullseye’s Playground items also are included.

Target is working with third-party verification service SheerID to verify eligibility. Sign up for the coupon – valid July 13-20 in stores and online – at Target.com/teacherprep.

The discount is geared toward K-12 teachers, but Amarillo Target will also offer the savings to teachers working at day care centers, early childhood learning centers and home-schooling parents and teachers.

Documents that can be submitted include a school ID card, letter of employment on school letterhead, current pay stub and official documents.

Amarillo’s Target is open M-Sat. 8am-11pm and Sundays 8am to 10 pm
