TeacherLists is teaming up with their brand partners to award one teacher per day with a $125 gift card to the retailer of their choice to help clear their classroom wish list.

WRENTHAM, Mass., Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — TeacherLists, the nationally recognized school supply list platform created by School Family Media, LLC, is giving back to educators this November with the Clear the List Sweepstakes. Between November 1st and December 3rd, 2024, TeacherLists is teaming up with their brand partners to award one teacher per day with a $125 gift card to the retailer of their choice–Amazon, Walmart, or Target–to help clear their classroom wish list.

“This is the perfect time of year to thank teachers for everything they do. The TeacherLists Clear the List sweepstakes is our way of helping teachers get what they need to give their students the best education possible,” says Charles Field, CEO of School Family Media.

“This is the perfect time of year to thank teachers for everything they do. The TeacherLists Clear the List sweepstakes is our way of helping teachers get what they need to give their students the best education possible,” says Charles Field, CEO of School Family Media.

To enter, teachers should visit TeacherLists Clear the List Sweepstakes, where they will be prompted to enter their email, zip code, and school. Please note teachers should include their wish list. Winners will be chosen at random and announced daily on Facebook and Instagram. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY
