Sam Brumley – Owner – Education Station was purchased from Gail Fuller, Teachers Touch, in November 1994. The name was changed to Teachers With Class due to Gail’s publishing company with the same name. We found over time that parents wanted to come shop but were intimidated by the name. In 1998 the name was changed to the present name, Education Station. Sam, longtime educator in the region knows first hand the very real need for teachers to have strong resource and learning materials available to them. Sam is consistently updating the store to ensure that each year the materials available to teachers are the finest classroom tools available. Sam has established strong partnerships within the Hill Country region and has been recognized for her work and commitment to education through the “Station.” She has a Master's degree in Educational Administration from Texas State. In 2003, Sam was inducted in the San Marcos Women’s Hall of Fame. Sam is not only a businesswoman and past teacher, she is also a mother of three wonderful children and wife to local businessman Kevin Brumley.

Sam’s focus with both Education Station and Scrapbook Depot is to select the best and the brightest products available. Sam believes in the power of teachers and parents and their commitment to their students and children.

Since the summer of 2004 Education Station and Scrapbook Depot has been housed in a new expansive location at 1941 IH 35 South Suite 101. In January 2008, Education Station celebrates its 15th Anniversary.

In her free time, Kelley enjoys being crafty and has a blast doing wacky projects and designing scrapbook layouts. Kelley's favorite items in the store are the way cool pencil grips and Gesturz pens. They are fluorescent colored pens that display a pen making a hand gesture (peace sign, thumbs up, hang loose, number one, etc.) and they are without a doubt "the best thing since the iPod" as Kelley describes them. To help Kelley study she always uses obnoxious writing implements to make studying more fun!!!

She likes working at Education Station because it helps give her a good idea of the items she is going to need in her own classroom in the future. There are so many educational tools that she cant wait to use in her own classroom. Taylor's favorite pet is her West Highland Terrior named Charlie who is always there for her when she is stressed and needs a smile on her face. When Taylor has down time she like to invite friends over, pop some popcorn and watch a movie or play board games which makes her feel like a kid again! Taylor's heroes are her mom and grandma. These two ladies didn't get a chance to go to college but each have wonderful careers and have made sure that Taylor would attend college she that she will not struggle the way they did. They are both so supportive which has helped Taylor so much during her college career.
