As a teacher of more than 30 years, I'm very appreciative of the raft. Went in there a couple weeks ago and picked up lots of odds and ends for our maker, space robotics, building, project and fun stuff for our class auction. The raft never disappoints.

Raft used to be great, with Mrs. Grossman's stickers for a very reasonable price, and good deals on classroom supplies and things for art projects. I used to come here at least one Saturday a month to stock up on things. However, now it is way too expensive - I can find things cheaper at Target and Walmart - and the selection isn't very good. I'm not going to bother renewing my membership. Very disappointed in what raft has become.

Raft is fantastic! With a little imagination an educator can provide hours of curriculum for any age student!

A good resource place for teachers in all different grades. And you also can find some useful office supplies for your home office. I personally like their green room which I could use the die-cut and laminate services.

I have been going to raft for many years. Honestly it's helped our school behavior incentive store stay afloat and survive. As an educator with a limited budget the store has been great. In the past I could find things that were anywhere between 30 and 50% cheaper than what they would be a cost sometimes even more. I'm not sure what's recently been going on in the last year and I know prices everywhere are more expensive. I have found that the prices recently are often comparable to what you would pay for them or not much different. I'm a little confused because my understanding is that most of the products they have have been donated and have company emblems on them so it's not like you're purchasing the item Brand-new from a store. I know some people who shop here and resell I've seen some of of RAFT stuff at the flea market. I think for most of us the prices are considerably higher and the inventory has been very low. I have no Desire to purchase $90 hunter shoes, expensive furniture or records that cost the same at the record store. I hope that RAF can continue to try to find items that are inexpensive for educators that we can use for our classrooms and for student prizes at a deeply discounted amount. Appreciate the staff who've been very friendly and helpful.

Great supplies for teachers and great educational resources! Mostly STEM focused but even a music teacher like me can find valuable things!

Raft is ok and hit or miss. Sometimes you strike it rich, other times you strike out. They sell some purchased stuff and they sell a lot of donated materials. Today's shocker was 5"x5"x5" boxes for $0.25 each. These are the things you'd find in the recycle. But also thermometers for $1.00

If you are an educator and need things to help your students learn then this is the good spot. Boosters and groups that work with youth are more than welcome to get membership hereMy problem is that I am not as creative as the people who walk in here. I always hear great ideas from people. It blows my mind the creative mind people have. They also have cheap furniture here. I got 3 adjustable tables. In the last I also got chairs. If you want inexpensive items to create things this is a cool place. When my daughter was in the 5th grade, we got items here for her science project. We created an environmental house. We even used recycled products from here. The die cuts are the coolest here too. I was able to buy products and then cut them here. I made crowns in the past. Now you need to make an appointment as it was really busy pre-CoVid.

My kid was doing volunteer work here, so I took a peek inside. Looks like a cool place to get arts and crafts supplies for the kiddos. $25 membership fee. Open to teachers and parents, I guess the "parents" part opens it up to everyone? ?There's a drive up pickup option.
