Calling all teachers! If you still have supplies to buy before the new school year starts, you’ll want to head to Michaels on July 19 for a free teacher event.

From 2-4 p.m., the event will include a make-and-take project, refreshments, a raffle and discounts on items teachers need for their kids throughout the year. You can also meet other teachers in the community, get classroom ideas and learn about teacher benefits and services offered at Michaels.

Teachers will also get 20% off until July 20, and they can score a free tote bag filled with back-to-school products from Crayola, Expo, Sharpie, The Happy Planner and more. The tote bag is valued at $35 and is free July 19 and 20 with any $30 purchase after all discounts and coupons.
