“I’m Stephanie, a 4th grade teacher who found healing in the classroom after the loss of my baby, and it’s become my mission to create a safe, joyful place for every student. Many of my students come from military families and already carry more than most kids should, so I want our classroom to be one less thing they have to worry about. If you’re able to help clear my teacher wish list, every item helps me give them the classroom they deserve. ❤️”

“Hey Everyone! I am a first grade teacher at a title one school here in Utah! This is my second year of teaching. I supply everything for my classroom because a lot of my students come from complicated family situations and living condition. I want school to be a safe and loving place for them. I would love to give my students more opportunities to play and learn together! Thank you!”

“Becoming a teacher has been my dream since I was in 2nd grade, and now I’ll be starting my first year teaching 5th grade at a Title I school.

“This will be my 7th year teaching 2nd grade. I love my job and love what I do. Schools provide a unique experience each year, and I love learning new ways to inspire kids. I am tough, but we have fun. I have high expectations because I know kids can meet, and exceed them. I’m hoping this year will be lucky #7 for me with amazing things on store for my class. Thank you for your support!!”

“I am a brand new (2nd grade) teacher so I’m starting from scratch and would love to provide my students with things that will help them, help our classroom, and help myself this year and for years to come.
I’m nearly 40 and went back to school with 4 little kids and I am so outnumbered by all the young teachers who are amazing at navigating the technology and doing all the online things. This is my meager attempt at trying to keep up with them 😉
I mostly just feel grateful for people that see us teachers and want to support and help. I always did when I was a stay-at-home mom because teachers are so important. Thank you for any support! 🥹🫶”

“I teach K-2 Special Education for mild/Moderate students. Over half of my students are severe sensory seekers so I am trying to build space where they can get their needs met so they can succeed in their gen ed class. We also don’t have a/c in our class so I am hoping to problem solve that.”

“I’m a 4th grade teacher getting ready to start my 6th year of teaching and my 3rd year in 4th grade! I created this wish list to help stock our classroom with both everyday essentials (like pencils, snacks, and whiteboard erasers) and hands-on learning materials for lessons, such as cups for science experiments. Every item helps create a classroom where students work hard, support one another, celebrate every success—big or small—and grow into confident learners. Thank you so much for supporting my students and helping make this a fantastic school year!”

“Hi! I’m Ms. Anderson, a third-grade teacher at Noah Webster Academy. I’m passionate about creating an engaging, hands-on classroom where every scholar can grow academically and personally.

If you’d like to support our classroom, anything purchased from my Amazon Wish List is greatly appreciated and goes directly toward enriching scholar learning. Thank you for your kindness and support!”

“Heading into year 21! I was in school leadership for 12 years and decided to jump back into the classroom last year. I learned so much and am so proud of how much my students grew and how they taught me to love teaching again. Here’s to a new year with new 3rd grade besties!”

“I have been teaching for 15 years. I got married late in life and had my first baby last year. I haven’t been in my classroom since the end of March so I have no idea what state all of my supplies are in. 😬 My husband amazingly and thankfully has a lot of baby leave. We are very lucky! He’s taking the first 2 months off that I have to be back to school so our 4 month old doesn’t need to go to daycare quite yet, but unfortunately him taking that time comes with a pay cut. Anything helps ❤️”

“I am in my 11th year of teaching at a title one school. My goal is to help my students feel loved, safe, and supported while at school and give them access to lots of books that they don’t have at home and to help them learn as much as possible in the year they are in my class.”

“Hi! I’m a first-grade teacher at a rural Title I school, and this year marks my 10th year in the classroom. Teaching is truly my passion, and I love helping my students learn, grow, and feel valued every day.
As we begin a new school year, I’m hoping to add new books to our classroom library, hands-on science materials, basic classroom necessities, and snacks to help keep my students fueled and ready to learn. Every donation, big or small, makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for supporting my classroom and my amazing students!”

“This is my 9th year teaching Jr. High in Bountiful Utah! I love making everything hands on and fun for my students, but that is expensive. The more supplies I can get via wish list, the less I have to charge parents for lab fees, which is my goal! I teach foods, interior design, and child development!”

“I’m a first year art teacher (but nobody ever knows that because I’m old enough to have 4 kids including teenagers) and I’m starting from scratch. My classroom is an old criminal justice classroom being converted into an art room.
I teach at an alternative high school that helps students that weren’t able to feel successful at traditional schools. Relationships and encouragement are a big part of our school and I can’t wait to help students realize that learning can be fun and they CAN be successful as creative problem solvers.”

California
“I’m a 5th grade teacher at a title one school. My classroom is a run down portable that is over 40 years old, with bright orange walls. I do my best to make it feel more like an enjoyable friendly space. I have on average 33-35 students. I really would like to expand our class library. We only get to go to the library twice a month. So I’d like to have more options for students to choose from in between library visits. In addition to books, some basic supplies that are needed. Anything at all is appreciated.”

“This is my 5th year teaching, and second year in this position. I no longer am given a budget by my district, and we are not allowed to post our wish lists on our own social media, so any help is very appreciated! My biggest wish is for the vibration plate – I have multiple students that this will greatly benefit with sensory input needs. Thank you for supporting me and all teachers!”

“As a high school teacher, I have the privilege of teaching both Math and History—two subjects that help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of the world around them. Every day, I strive to create a classroom where students feel supported, engaged, and inspired to reach their full potential.
Any donation will help provide essential classroom supplies, hands-on learning materials, technology resources, and enrichment opportunities that make learning more meaningful and accessible for every student. These resources allow me to create engaging lessons that encourage curiosity, collaboration, and confidence.
No contribution is too small. Every donation directly impacts my students by giving them the tools they need to succeed academically and grow into lifelong learners. Thank you for investing in my classroom and helping my students thrive. Your generosity makes a lasting difference.”

Illinois
“Hey Jason, I’m getting ready to start my 3rd year teaching 5th grade in a title 1 school (low income) in Illinois. We have a group of churches that host a back to school event where they give away a backpack and supplies. Unfortunately, we still have students come to school without the things they need. I stock everything they need to do what I expect them to do in a share cart. Whenever they need something, they can just go grab it without asking. I spent thousands of dollars my first year stocking everything they would need (and of course some of that was to create a cozy space for them to learn). Unfortunately, it’s time to restock. My biggest wish is the deodorant and pencils! Thank you so much!!”

Teachers invest countless hours into helping our kids learn, grow, and succeed, often spending their own time and money along the way. If you’re able to help, even by purchasing one small item from a classroom wish list, it can make a real difference. Thanks for supporting the people who show up for our kids every single day. Let’s make sure they know they’re appreciated—not just during back-to-school season, but all year long.
