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 2025-2026 school year. This includes stocking up on school supplies for their students!

Did you know that many teachers pay for the 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 out of their own pockets.

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!

    Hello all!
    I am going into my third year teaching! I am changing schools and grade level so it’s an exciting but terrifying summer! Going from 8th to 7th grade science will be a big curriculum change but I’m so excited for this new year and would appreciate any help possible in supporting my new students!

    Hey everyone! I’m Mandy and I teach Kindergarten at a Title 1 school in Arkansas. Many of my students come from high poverty and can’t afford much in the way of snacks and we often run low. We also can always use tissues and cleaning products. So I made a list of those types of needs and then a registry for things I want for my classroom to help make it inviting. I’ll share both lists below.

    I teach 8th grade science in a Title I school/district in Texas. Many of my students come to school just for food, comfort & a positive or encouraging word. Most of the items are for my students to help them with hygiene or to quell the hunger pangs they have due to situations beyond their control. Anything is truly appreciated! I will do my best to reciprocate!!
