Teacher Back to School Wishlists – Clear the List 2022

July 20, 2022

Today is one of my FAVORITE days of the year! Clear the List Day!!!

Each July, I ask all of our teacher followers on Instagram to send their classroom wishlists to me so that we can support them as much as possible to kick off their school year with a bang and show them just how much we appreciate them.

I was a 9th – 11th grade English teacher from 2009 to 2014, and I had to pay for supplies out of my freshly-out-of-college not-very-deep pockets to provide materials to my classroom and students on my very slim teaching income.

In 2014, I left the teaching profession (what I thought at the time was temporarily) to stay home with Olivia after she was born because daycare cost the majority of my teaching paycheck back then. I cried the day I left my classroom for the last time, not because I’d miss the stress or the lack of support, of course. I loved my students and had a passion for making a positive difference in their lives.

Our teachers deserve all of our support, financially and emotionally. Many are not provided adequate pay or resources in order to do their jobs. (It’s absurd that lack of funding even requires them to make classroom wishlists in the first place.)

If you can click a teacher wishlist below and supply even a box of crayons, it can make a massive difference.

There is power in numbers, and every year Clear the List Day is a way to make a huge ripple effect difference. I always carve out part of our blog’s income to donate supplies on this day as well.

Please consider purchasing supplies through Amazon Smile so Amazon will donate a portion of their revenue to education based charity programs. Many of these teachers are first year educators, single mothers and fathers, and/or work at Title I schools and need all of the support they can get.
