The Teacher Prep Event At Target Is Legit

MINNEAPOLIS (CBS13) - Teachers are getting excited about a sale happening at Target just for them.

Target answered a question on Twitter Thursday morning confirming the "Teacher Prep Event" starts July 15.

Pictures had been shared on social media advertising the sale running from July 15-21. The link listed in the ad initially didn't work; however, by Wednesday afternoon it was an active link- but no information was on the site. As of Thursday morning the link still doesn't have any information- but Target did say the site will go live on July 15.

The advertisement says: "For the first time ever, we're giving teachers a special 15% off deal on select classroom supplies in-store and online during our Teacher Prep Event July 15-21."
