Submit a Classroom Wish List

Share the classroom need people can actually understand.

A classroom wish list works harder when it has context. Tell us what your students use, what runs out first, what the room needs next, and how supporters can help.

Reviewed submissions may be shaped into featured classroom stories on backtoschoolsupplies.org, giving your classroom a cleaner support path than a link floating by itself.

Submission does not guarantee publication, placement, timing, purchases, sponsorship, classroom support, traffic, or funding. Classroom support is separate from tax-deductible giving unless a qualified organization or platform clearly states otherwise.

Your classroom story gives the wish list a reason.

People respond to clarity. The stronger your details, the easier it is for families, alumni, local supporters, and partners to understand the need and take action.

Who This Is For

Teachers and classrooms with real supply needs.

This submission page is for classroom supply needs that help students learn, stay organized, complete projects, and move through the school day with the basics already in place.

Teachers

Share what keeps the room moving.

Support classroom-level needs.

Approved classroom representatives may submit needs tied to a real classroom, grade, subject, or school-year project.

Special Projects

Give the project a clear supply path.

Reading corners, art projects, science activities, organization resets, literacy support, and seasonal classroom needs fit well here.

Community Support

Make support easier to act on.

A strong submission helps supporters understand the classroom, the supply need, and the impact of restocking the room.
