I'm gonna give you a suggestion that we did for our school. Well first we
asked local computer stores, and we got some from them. It's free
advertising for them. Most of them have logos on them. You may want to
call Apple, if you are using Macs, I think they may give you mouse pads
for free if you haven't allready gotten them for free from them. You May
want to call wholesalers and computer companies. They could help.

The other business you may want to approach is a carpet store. They sell
Padding that is the same type of material that mouse pads are made out
of. You can proubly get remnates for free and cut it to your liking.. use
as is OR glue some remnate fabric on it and you have a mouse pad. We did
this as a Project in some computer class I had in HS. Pretty neat

I do have one question. how come you didn't get mouse pads with your
computers.. most companies will provide them free. Or if you order them
thru catologs, they'll give them free too. The onther thing is that mouse
pads are relativly cheap.. I've seen them as little as a buck. I mean
there must be SOME money somewhere in your school to spend for mouse
pads. Unless you have to order over 75 of them.. it should be fairly
cheap. And some places give ya better rates if you ordering in bulk.
