Sorta a tradition to take my grandkids, school supply shopping, this year every item had a brand name underlined - it was a must.
Funny, the kids said, “no way grandma why should we pay $2.99 for crayolas when we can get an off brand for $0.99.
Love them
Yes, schools do have agreements with marketers to specify brands.
