What is Tools 4 Schools?

With this community-based classroom supply initiative, INK! aims to reduce out-of-pocket expenses of St. Johns County educators–and to ensure that their students have the necessary tools to be successful in the classroom.

Throughout the school year, teachers can order the classroom supplies they need for free. Orders are filled and delivered to their schools by INK!.
