Dozens of Marble Falls Middle School teachers stocked up on supplies during a gifted shopping spree at Office Depot on Dec. 12.
The local branch of the office supply chain, at 1311 Mormon Mill Road, partnered with paper supply company Domtar to donate about $6,200 total to the teachers’ shopping spree, amounting to $155 per teacher.
“We truly appreciate Office Depot for providing our teachers the opportunity to come in and gather supplies for their classrooms,” MFMS Principal Rudy Gonzalez told DailyTrib. “Our teachers were genuinely excited about this event, and it was a wonderful way to recognize the incredible work they do each day to support, love, inspire, and care for our students.”

According to Gonzalez, it is not uncommon for teachers to dive into their own pocketbooks to purchase extra supplies in the classroom, and this spree helped ease that burden.
This is the second year that Office Depot has donated to MFMS teachers.
“It feels great to give back to the schools,” Office Depot General Manager Paul Chavez said. “They work so hard, and they give so much to our community and our kids here in Marble Falls.”
Chavez said that much of the funds come from donations made by customers when they checkout, with 100 percent of the money going toward local programs like the shopping spree.
