2016; Walmart calls on customers to nominate and elect their
Commander in Teach
Today, Walmart is unveiling its back to class syllabus designed

subtract the stress.

get back to school for less. This year, the retailer has outlined
three things that will help customers save not only money, but also

retailer’s every day low prices via their Pickup service, Walmart
is granting mom a recess before the school year even starts.
“We know how quickly Back-to-School spending can add up. Our
customers trust us to have the Back-to-School items they need at
the prices that don’t break the bank,” said Scott Bayles, vice
president, school and office supplies, Walmart U.S. “We want to
make every day easier for busy families. This year, we’re saving
our customers more than just money; we’re also saving them time. No
matter how customers choose to shop – whether on their smartphone,
tablet or in our stores – we’re working to provide moms with the
most convenient, affordable solution to get back to
class.”

Commander In Teach(ers)A successful school year is about
more than just stocking up on the right supplies – it starts with
the commander of the classroom, the teacher.

pockets to spend, on average, $490 of their own money to get their
classroom ready and to make sure their students have everything
they need.
There is more than one election taking place this year. Walmart
is calling on its customers to nominate their favorite teacher for
a chance to be elected as one of Walmart’s Commanders in
Teach(ers). A number of teachers will then be selected to receive a
$490 Walmart Gift Card and free school supplies courtesy of
Walmart. To nominate a teacher, visit the polling station at
