Review for RAFT (Resource Area for Teaching), San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I only started using RAFT this year, but I had heard of it a long time before I got my teaching credential. Now I go there when I need cheap supplies for projects and, especially in these big budget cut times, some basic supplies. Although you might have to hunt a little to find exactly what you want, everything is as clearly labeled as it could be, the price is worth it, and the people you meet along the way (fellow shoppers too, not just the wonderful staff) are incredibly helpful and generous of spirit. Even when I don't find *exactly* what I want, I usually discover something awesome and creative. This year, RAFT has helped supply my school with paperclips and hanging file folders, it has supplied our art department with installation pieces, and it has supplied my own history class with plenty of materials to make sundry artifacts. It is a win-win-win for educators, businesses, and the environment. I am so glad to have it in my community.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

helpful, kind, and knowledgeable.
