Every year, teachers across UCPS, CMS, and our local private schools spend their own time, energy, and money making sure their classrooms are ready for their students. From basic supplies to the little extras that make a classroom feel special, so much of it comes straight out of their own pockets.
That is where Clear the List 2026 comes in! This is our community-powered wishlist program connecting local teachers with families who want to help. Teachers share their classroom wishlists, and our readers help clear them, one item at a time.
How it works:
- Local teachers submit their classroom wishlist (Amazon, Target, DonorsChoose, you name it!)
- Their wishlist gets featured right here on our site, and shared across our social media
- Generous families like you browse the list below and help clear whatever you can, big or small
Every item cleared makes a real difference for a teacher and their students this school year.
Scroll through the Wishlist Directory:
