Teacher Clear the List Project – 2025

Hello everyone! Here we are again thinking about Back to School! We want to support and encourage our teachers and their students so we’re gratefully that you’re considering jumping on board with us!

Several ago we started a new project of posting teacher’s classroom wish lists. We had great success and are adding on this year for an even bigger opportunity to give back to teachers. So please join us again in supporting teachers who give so much of their time, energy and their own money to give their students every possible opportunity! If we can lighten their load and ease some of their financial burden by purchasing back to school supplies for them then let’s do it! Remember it takes a village and we can achieve so much more when we work together. We’ve tried to make this easy and each year it gets a little better – we hope! It’s pretty simple – select a teacher, click their Amazon Wish list link and start purchasing! We’ll be on the way to clearing hopefully ALL of these lists! We can each do something –purchase an item or two, clear a list, and most, of all pray. Thank you so much! You guys are the best!
