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! 🙌

    I am a kindergarten teacher at a Title One Public Urban Charter school in north Memphis in Tennessee. My kiddos deserve a top notch education that meets not only their academic needs but also their social, emotional and nutritional needs. Anything helps no gift is too small or unappreciated.

    This is so kind and thoughtful of you! Any little bit helps and it really does take one less thing off of our to do list!! I am a high school science teacher who loves seeing others enjoy the world of science. These students become part of our families and we do our best to give them everything we would want for our own children!

    I teach 1st grade in a title1 school in the Bronx. A lot of my students can not afford supplies so I end up spending a lot of own money to help these children have the supplies they need!! I want to make this year as special as possible for them! Thanks for helping to support my class! ❤️

    Thank you so much for helping out us teachers. I lost my job in March due to budget cuts which was very stressful for our family since my husband had lost his job in February (due to restructuring). Luckily I had 8 years of seniority in the district and was able to get another job in May. But that meant I will be in a new school and a new grade.

    Any little contribution to my list would be very grateful.

    Hi, I teach kindergarten in Shreveport, Louisiana. My district is going through major budget cuts so I don’t expect much help this year. Anything is appreciated!
