What is “Clear the List”? It’s a nationwide movement to support teachers by purchasing items for their school supply lists.

School will be back in session soon (some districts start in just a couple of weeks!) and teachers are already working hard to prepare their classrooms for the new 2024-2025 school year. This includes stocking up on school supplies for their students!

Did you know that many teachers pay for a majority of classroom supplies out of their own pockets? Yes, it’s true! Classroom supplies are not cheap and many school districts and families are struggling. This leaves many teachers to pay for school supplies themselves.

Teachers always go the extra mile for their students, so let’s show them how much we appreciate them by giving back and helping to fulfill their supply lists!

You can help by donating items from teachers’ Amazon shopping lists!

Teachers and educational professionals can head over to Amazon, create a classroom wish list, and then share their lists publicly. Anyone can ‘donate’ items that are on the list, and after donating, donors can even leave a note or message letting the teacher know how much they are appreciated. So awesome!

Even better, if you post your list on social media and tag Amazon with #clearthelist, you may find that your list is cleared BY Amazon! So cool!

Teachers, follow these steps to make your classroom wish list on Amazon:

  • Head over to Amazon and hover over Account & List at the top. Select ‘Create a List’ from the drop-down menu and name your list.
  • Hover over the three dots More menu on the right, and click Manage List to update your shipping address (this is important!) and other preferences like whether you want the list to be private or public. You can also designate whether your list is for an organization and if so, you’ll have the option to provide the website address of the organization.
  • Click ‘Save’ and then you can start adding items to your list!
  • To add items to your wish list, simply browse for products on Amazon and then click ‘Add to List’ under the Buy box on the right-hand side of any item’s product detail page.
  • Only list owners can make changes through Manage List. Both list owners and collaborators will be able to add and remove items.

If you’re a teacher, be sure to share your teacher list in the comments below so that readers can help clear the list! 🙌

Plus, treat yourself to something special with these teacher discounts!

    Hi all!! I teach in a day treatment center for severely emotionally impaired students in Redford, Michigan. Our diverse school community is comprised of students from 7 different school districts in Wayne County. After 22 years in this position, I couldn’t imagine teaching anywhere else. It can be challenging at times, but also exceptionally rewarding! Thank you for your consideration in fulfilling part of my Wish List!

    As a 6th grade English teacher, I pour my heart and soul into creating an engaging and enriching learning environment for my students. Any contribution, big or small, would make a significant difference in enhancing my classroom and benefiting my hard-working 6th graders.

    Thank you in advance for your support!

    After fifteen years of teaching, one of my biggest challenges is keeping my classroom clean and comfortable for students every day. If you are able, please consider purchasing an item from the wishlist linked below. More importantly, please keep all educators on your hearts as we creep closer and closer to the start of another great year!

    It’s Back-to-School season, y’all!

    -Mari-Lee, LMSW here
    -I’ve recently relocated and accepted a new position as a first year high school (grades 9-12) social worker in an inner city school in NY.
    -My new school district is one with over 20,000 students total.
    -I’m also a mom of a teen myself who has a 504 Plan (after having an IEP until 7th grade this year) himself so I know and understand the need for social workers to have places that make students feel safe & at home when with them in school.

    Any help is greatly appreciated and will go to help some amazing teens in need! Thank you so much everyone in advance!🫶🏻💚

    This is my son’s first year teaching. Here is his list. He keeps discovering new things he needs and is a little anxious about having his class ready.

    I teach science to 7th graders and would appreciate any help with my list that I can get! In addition to classroom science, my kids also help with service to our community and take advantage of outdoor opportunities as often as we can. Thanks!!

    Hey y’all!

    My name is Ms. Bauer and I teach Kindergarten at a Title 1 School in Virginia! I began my career teaching at a Private School in NC where supplies were readily-available by parents and school donations at any point in time throughout the year. I am now on my upcoming 8th year of teaching where supplies are not as easily available and my paychecks tend to go towards snacks, toys, hands-on learning materials, etc. On top of that, our school has decided to rearrange and bring in the 5th graders so us teachers are all having to move classrooms, where we will of course start from a blank slate. It would be so greatly appreciated if you could help in any way possible to help me clear my list!! If you would love to add your personal address with the Amazon Note, I would love to send a thank-you card in return.

    Thanks so much! 🥰
