Cheaper than parchment for school

I use parchment paper with my students for maps and special drawings but it can get expensive if you need a lot of it. So this ivory paper looks almost as special. I copy their timeline figures on this paper and they cut out the figures to make History Timeline projects. Some kids like to TEAR apart the timeline figures so it looks sort of vintage and scrappy. Handling the timeline figures many times builds retention. We read them then they are looking at them again as they cut them one more time as they glue them to the correct spot in their timeline books. Review is easy as it is all spread out on their timeline pages and it looks so "old fashioned" too!
I wanted paper that was a bit heavier than normal laser paper and richer looking as it would be used in a celebration memory book. This paper was easy to convert into lined stationery for participants to record their thoughts and words of wisdom. It was perfect for my use.
Our office uses this paper for flyers and advertisement. Prints easy no jams and prints will well. Sheet quantity is great at 500 sheets per ream and the price is great.
This product is perfect for school informational flyers. It's nice to have a different color from white- this gives parents the ability to spot it in the kids' backpacks. Teachers like using color for special projects as well.
I love using the colored copy paper to help keep me organized. I have a lot of different assignments from students to keep straight. Using colored paper helps me keep assignments together easier. It also helps me make sure all of students are on the same page.
The Staples brand allows me to save money without sacrificing quality. None of my print jobs or my childrens' school projects have suffered because I use this house brand paper.
