PTO Finds Home at US Markerboard
Whiteboards and Display Cases would probably not be on your back-to-school list, but for Parent-Teacher Organizations, (PTO) they certainly are. PTOs best known for their school bake sales are spending thousands of dollars on fixtures normally purchased by school administrators, and they are doing it at companies like US Markerboard.
(PRWEB) August 18, 2005 -- Whiteboards and Display Cases would probably not be on your back-to-school list, but for Parent-Teacher Organizations, (PTO) they certainly are. PTOs best known for their school bake sales are spending thousands of dollars on fixtures normally purchased by school administrators, and they are doing it at companies like US Markerboard.
Sales to PTOs grew 33% this year alone", says company President Scott Newman. We now have programs specifically geared toward Parent Teacher Organizations."
PTOs have decided to take things into their own hands when it comes to making sure their children have what they need to be successful. They are coming to us with wish lists for everything including whiteboards, school desks, display cases and cafeteria tables."
US Markerboard is the leading online retailer for dry erase whiteboards, catering to thousands of public and private institutions as well as some of the worlds largest companies and educational institutions such as Boston University, NASA, Alcoa, California Closets, and The Gillette Company. Most recently, US Markerboard was recognized on NBCs The Today Show for their assistance in helping to outfit a needy Brooklyn, New York school with school desks, teacher desks, chairs, whiteboard easels and a trophy display case. We were asked by NBC to be part of this important project so we stepped in to help", says Scott Newman.
