Last week I purchased the best school binder by far.  It's really an organization system. Five Star makes it, and it has two zippered compartments. One compartment has the 3-ring binder and, on the left side are velcro pouches to keep pencils, rulers, computer discs, etc. safely secured.

Then, in the smaller zippered compartment, is a mini-accordian file for sticking loose things like school notices and other flyers.  If you create tabs on the top, you're kids will have one file for every need. 

It's really cool and it actually keeps my kids organized for 5th grade...which is saying a lot. It's also sturdy and won't crumble at the edges like my daughter's first binder (I think it lasted all of 2 weeks!)

I got it at such a huge discount. I think they go for $29.95 orginally. But I got it at Staples discounted twice. First was $14.95, then $9.95.  It's a steal.  Hurry, though, I don't think they have many like this type left.
