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! 🙌

    We are a Small church preschool. We try to keep tuition low for our families which means there isn’t a lot of money leftover for supplies

    This list was created to go towards events and random acts of kindness that I, as a Dean of Students of an elementary school, would like to do for staff, students, and parents. I want to assist with our school climate/culture by decreasing teacher burnout, lack of student motivation & reassure our parents we appreciate the partnership. It’s important to be specific and randomly show people you care. Small acts do go a long way.

    Thank you so much for supporting us! I am a high school Spanish teacher in NC. I love making my classroom a welcoming space for students by having basic hygiene products, snacks, cute decor, supplies, and fidget toys. Every and any donation/gift is greatly appreciated.

    I’m a kindergarten ELA and Social Studies teacher at a Title 1 school in central Florida. I don’t expect my list to be totally cleared because any donations will help my students too have a successful year!
