Morrison School Supplies

The service at Morrison’s is great. They have quite a bit of things. However, I still prefer going to Lakeshore. Morrison’s is a little dim (lighting) and the organization and variety is not as great as Lakeshore’s. This location however is only 20 minutes from my house vs. the 40 minutes to Lakeshore. This year, I had to go to Lakeshore anyway after my failed attempt at Morrison’s to find the borders I needed to finish my bulletin boards.

Still the place where teacher’s spend their whole pay check. I continue to go to Morrison’s because it is the ONLY teacher’s store on the Peninsula. The staff is always helpful, but the prices are off-​putting. I seriously can’t afford to buy any games or manipulatives here because they average $ 20-​$ 30 for just one set. This might not be their fault as anything for the classroom is expensive. Still, I end up buying my stuff online if I can at reduced prices or waiting for a sale.

Great store. Lots of awesome, quality items geared towards teachers.
I’m not a teacher, but I enjoy browsing around here from time to time when my daughter asks for something that can pretty much only come from this store, like addition and subtraction flash cards. Not the ones mom can make, the «special» (read: the ones that cost money and look cool) ones.
However, the prices are fairly high, so count on feeling faint at the register.
The staff is really helpful!

Clueless about children uncle here that is eager to contribute to the growth of the kids. The gentleman running the show here asked me a few questions and pointed me in some very spot on directions. I rate this as «awesome»!
To see one of the best suggestions at work:

I love their selection of art supplies and activity books. Their staff is also very helpful and they never failed to show me the best activity stuff that my daughter will enjoy. I don’t know anything about arts and crafts, so every suggestions that they gave me are very helpful. My daughter loves this store as well.

I was looking for a place to laminate my baby book so of course I turned to my trusty Unilocal source. MSS got great reviews so I called to check prices. 65cents/​2 8.5×11 is a great deal! Plenty of parking in the plaza. The friendly store clerk showed me how to operate the laminating machine and provided me with big scissors to cut too. This place has everything a teacher would ever need!

Love this place. They have a large selection of workbooks and activity books. Lots of fun stuff, flash cards… etc. Prices aren’t through the roof either :)

Very friendly staff, but I gagged when I saw the prices.

OMG, what a great school supply store.
This store is jam packed with everything elementary teachers need for their students.
This store is a great place for elementary students to get items that they need for school anytime of the year.
From what I saw in this store it is almost entirely geared toward school age students. I didn’t really see anything in here for secondary (middle & high school) teachers other then lesson planners, date books, & notebooks.
Great store and nobody working there bugged me so I was free to look, roam and enjoy.

Staff is super friendly and courteous. Wide selection of all your teacher needs — borders, calendars, star charts, content posters, art supplies, stickers, stamps, etc. Good prices, comparable or even cheaper than stores like Office Depot and Staples (I’ve never been to Lakeshore Learning Center so I can’t say anything about that).
They will happily call the San Carlos location to see if they have an item in stock that isn’t available here, and I think they will actually have someone bring the items to the Sunnyvale location so you can pick it up at a later date without having to make the drive to San Carlos.
Full refunds with receipt; store credit without. Not sure about the timeline of this though, as I bought and returned an item same-​day because it was broken and they are closed on Sundays and I wouldn’t be in town the next weekend.

Our 2 girls are 6 and 9. We grow up with Morrison. Chrisand staff are always helpful and wonderful. We can always find fun and educational things there.
They have everything the teachers have.
If we want to buy big items like the table and chairs, we wait for the annual big sale in April.

Morrison supplies has anything a teacher might need for her/​his classroom. The elderly gentleman behind the counter was very helpful and friendly. They have a laminator there so if you need to get something laminated on the fly, it’s a good place to do it. If it’s a choice between going to a place like Morrison’s or going to a big box store like Office Depot, I’ll choose Morrison’s every time.

I recently discovered this place. I LOVE IT! The prices are decent, I think some of the stuff is cheaper than Lakeshore. I think Chris is the owner. He is SUPER friendly and helpful. They usually have a swap meet before school starts where you can set up a booth to sell your teacher stuff or trade with other teachers there. I wish it wasn’t far from Fremont, but the trip there is well worth it. The type of educational materials range from K through 12. I will definitely shop there again. Oh ya, if you visit their website, you can get an item for 15% off by printing from their website! Good luck and happy shopping!

I love this place, and I’m not even a teacher! As a Room Parent, I recently had to come up with a Halloween craft idea for third graders – tough crowd! I had Googled myself to death and asked other moms for ideas but still had nothing. Then I popped into Morrison School Supplies, hoping to find something. The gentleman who works there (and seems to be there every time I’ve gone in) is VERY helpful and friendly. I asked if he had any ideas, and he showed some ideas in some craft books and also showed me a crayon-​rubbing craft he had displayed. Bingo! And the store has everything you might need (who knew you could buy a box of JUST black crayons?!). Thank you, Morrison School Supplies!

I just got off the phone with them and they are so helpful!
I called Lakeshore earlier looking for a product, but they didn’t have it and they were so cold and direct. It seems like they never have what I need.
Whenever I go into Morrison, some approaches me to help and always seems to know what they are talking about. They have a lot of good educational material, not only for teachers, but for the every day parent.
Being a tutor, a lot of my material comes out of my own pocket, but i think morrison’s makes it worth the cost.
I am not going to shop around for any other educational store because I know Morrison’s will have it, or if they don’t they will make sure I get it.

Being an elementary school teacher gives you the urge to continuously shop for things for your classroom, whether you’re a new teacher or a veteran.
I’ve been to Morrison twice so far. The first time I went I was enthralled by all their teacher supplies. They have pretty much everything. The only thing is that it can get pricey compared to Lake Shore Learning.
Ambiance:vWhen you go into the store it’s dark.
Service: The people there are super friendly!
On my last trip there recently, I bought some wall posters (colors) and some stars which I ended up laminating there. One of the store helpers helped me out and suggested a way to make it easier for me to put my pieces together to make this door sized star poster which I had to laminate. He was super nice!
I also mentioned to him that my school needs laminating sheets which was disposed in the recycle bin, and he gave it to me! Whoot whoot! It wasn’t until later that I realized after putting the laminated posters, magnets and key chain I wasn’t charged for my laminating! OMG! I was super surprised. Not to say that this will happen all the time, but wow! =)

this is a teachers HEAVEN.
i cannot speak enough words of
greatness about this place.
they have everything you, your students
and your classroom could ever need!
the prices are perfect and very competitive with
discount school supply and definitely lakeshore.
if they don’t have something in stock… they’ll order it for you
immediately. they are always bringing in seasonal goodies
and keeping their store filled with resources. a MUST for
all teachers in the area.

This wonderful place took in a mom who was new to the public school system and educated her on what the heck multi-​cultural crayons were and so much more! They were so helpful and so nice. They helped me find everything on my daughter’s first school supply list while understanding my newbie status to this whole crazy journey called elementary school. Thanks Morrison School Supply!!!

What other store can you walk in and say,
«I NEED EIGHT HUNDRED PACKAGES OF TACKY GLUE AND SIX MILLION BOXES OF MULTI-​COLORED GLITTER… STAT!»
…and not get stared at like you’re a loon?
Ohhhh, wait. I forgot about the Castro. My bad.

Has everything one would need if one was a teacher or owns a school. There is furniture, different types of work books, various kinds of paper for doing projects, teaching supplies etc. Prices are not cheap!
