We claim: 1. A school supply station for storing classroom items, the supply station comprising: an annular inner wall defining an interior bin receiving area; an annular outer wall spaced radially outward from and connected to the inner annular wall by a series of bottom walls; a plurality of divider walls oriented transverse to and extending between the inner wall and outer wall, thereby forming a series of compartments; and a bin removably disposed in the bin receiving area; wherein the series of compartments includes an alternating series of side compartments and corner compartments; and wherein the outer wall is taller near the transverse divider walls of the corner compartments and shorter away from the transverse walls. 2. The supply station of claim 1, wherein the outer wall further comprises a plurality of mid-segments and a plurality of curved sections interconnecting the mid-segments. 3. The supply station of claim 2, wherein the outer wall is vertically shorter than the inner wall. 4. The supply station of claim 2, wherein the outer wall mid-segments are angled from the bottom walls away from the inner wall at a first angle. 5. The supply station of claim 4, wherein the outer wall curved sections are angled from the bottom walls away from the inner wall at a second angle greater than the first angle, and the bottom walls attached to the outer wall linear sections are higher than the bottom walls attached to the outer wall curved sections. 6. The supply station of claim 2, wherein the outer wall mid-segments meet the bottom wall at a curved transition surface. 7. The supply station of claim 1, the bin receiving area comprising a rim extending inward from the inner wall, and at least one hole disposed in the rim, the hole adapted to retain elongate articles. 8. The supply station of claim 1, wherein the inner wall comprises a plurality of wall segments interconnected at corners. 9. The supply station of claim 8, wherein the transverse divider walls extend out from the inner wall segments near the corners and are oriented perpendicularly to the inner wall segments. 10. The supply station of claim 8, wherein the corner compartments extend out from the corners of the inner walls, and the side compartments are positioned outward from the inner wall segments. 11. The supply station of claim 1, wherein the bin receiving area comprises a rim extending inward from the inner wall, a neck extending downward from the rim, and a shoulder extending inward from the neck. 12. The supply station of claim 1, wherein the outer wall includes a lip extending outward and downward. 13. The supply station of claim 12, wherein the lip includes irregularities to enhance grip. 14. A school supply station for storing classroom items, the supply station comprising: an annular inner wall; an annular outer wall spaced radially outward from and connected to the inner annular wall by a series of bottom walls; a plurality of divider walls oriented transverse to and extending between the inner wall and outer wall, thereby forming a series of compartments; a bin receiving area comprising a rim extending inward from the annular inner wall, a neck extending downward from the rim, and a shoulder extending inward from the neck; and a bin removably disposed in the bin receiving area, the bin including a base and a sidewall extending up from the base; wherein the sidewall of the bin includes a shoulder adapted to bear on the shoulder of the bin receiving area such that the bin is held in an elevated state. 15. The supply station of claim 14, wherein the bin includes a rim, the rim being spaced upward above the rim of the bin receiving area when the bin is held in an elevated state. 16. The supply station of claim 14, wherein the bin includes dividers dividing the bin into four chambers. 17. The supply station of claim 16 wherein the height of the chambers are at least four times the length or width. 18. The supply station of claim 16, wherein the bin includes a bottom that includes channels extending upward into the bin. 19. A school supply station for storing classroom items, the supply station comprising: an annular inner wall; an annular outer wall spaced radially outward from and connected to the inner annular wall by a series of bottom walls; a plurality of divider walls oriented transverse to and extending between the inner wall and outer wall, thereby forming a series of compartments; and a bin removably disposed within the annular inner wall, the bin including a base and a sidewall extending up from the base and at least one bin divider that divides the bin into a plurality of chambers; the base of the bin further including at least one channel that extends upward into the bin, wherein the channel is disposed directly below the bin divider.
