As summer break draws to a close, teachers all over the country are prepping their classrooms for the new school year. To aid our teacher friends in their efforts, we've put together a list of products to help them stay organized, productive, and alert. Check out our suggestions below!

Mobile Storage

A good, reliable storage cart is essential for just about any teacher, whether you're storing paperwork, art supplies, lab equipment, or a host of other things. Our 3-Tier Rolling Carts--and the new 4-tier version--can be tricked out with a wide variety of optional accessories that help maximize their storage potential.

The 4-Tier Cart above features the adjustable Cart Drawers that install under a tier for easy access to paper and other supplies.

Other great options include:

Storage Bins & Baskets

The Container Store's premier Everything Organizer Collection encompasses a wide range of products such as bins, turntables, and drawer organizers that can help you organize everything from your desktop to your shared work fridge. Made of durable, clear plastic, they're built to last and allow you to instantly find the contents you need.

The Everything Organizer Multi-Purpose Bins come in several sizes and are perfect for storing toys, games, book, puzzles, art supplies, notebooks, and lots of other things!

This Everything Organizer Deep Turntable features two removable bins that make it easy to carry supplies to a work area.

Keep your desk drawers tidy all school-year long with The Everything Organizer Drawer Organizer Set. Designed with straight sides, the organizers fit tightly together in a drawer without wasting space.

Other great storage collections include:

Totes and Backpacks

If you'll be carrying papers or a laptop back and forth to school, a good bag is a must-have. We've recently expanded our selection of travel products to include an assortment of tote bags and backpacks up to the task of sustained, day-to-day use.

With its durable vegan leather exterior and whip-stitch detailing, our chic Calpak Kaya Laptop Backpack looks just as good as it works!

Other bodacious bags include:

Hydration

It's hard to teach--or do anything for that matter--without staying hydrated. We have plenty of great travel bottles to choose from that help keep your water cool all day long. (Of course, if you prefer hot coffee, many of them work perfectly for that too!)

The Hydro Flask 32 oz. Wide Mouth Bottles use double-wall insulation to keep beverages cold for up to 24 hours (or hot up to 6 hours) and are available in an assortment of fun colors.

Other wonderful water bottles include:

Staying Cool

If your classroom could use a little assistance staying cool throughout the day, a small desktop fan might come in handy. In that case, check out our selection of small Vornado fans--they're powerful, durable, and have a nice retro design that looks good anywhere.

The Vornado VFAN Mini Classic Vintage Fan sports 21 watts of power and has two speed settings.
