Clear the List 2025 | Supporting Student Success 📚🎒

October 01, 2025

The back-to-school season is always a time of fresh starts  – new goals, new ideas, and the excitement of learning waiting just beyond the classroom door. For SSC Services for Education, it’s also a chance to honor the teachers who make those moments possible and help create spaces where students can shine, grow and feel empowered.

This year marked the fifth anniversary of SSC’s Clear the List initiative, a program designed to help teachers start the school year strong by removing one major stressor: the cost of classroom supplies, decorations, and resources that enhance the learning environment. Through Clear the List, SSC purchases items directly from teacher wish lists, ensuring classrooms have everything they need for a successful year.

Since launching in 2021, SSC has invested $70,000 in classrooms across the country – including this year’s $40,000 contribution that supported 100 additional classrooms. Each year, the initiative grows in both reach and impact, reflecting SSC’s deep commitment to the educators who shape the future every day.

Clear the List at China Spring ISD was a celebration to remember. The district was deeply appreciative of SSC’s support for their teachers and created a special video to honor the partnership and recognize the success of the initiative.

“It’s such a blessing just to receive this, especially as a first-year teacher. It’s really hard to get your classroom started especially when you don’t have the budget for it, so I am so thankful and so blessed to receive this Clear the List donation for my first year.”

– Mrs. Rubio, China Spring ISD

More Than School Supplies

Teachers describe the Clear the List program as more than just a way to stock their classrooms – it’s a gesture that fuels their passion and empowers their purpose. With every donated supply, they’re able to create safe, engaging spaces where curiosity thrives and confidence grows.  Each contribution reminds teachers that they’re not alone – their communities stand beside them, cheering them on as they inspire the next generation.

“Your generosity means so much – not only to me as an educator but also to every student who walks into my classroom. Thank you for being part of their journey and for supporting me as I begin mine.”

Ms. Gentry, Little Rock School District

 

Each year, Clear the List grows — not just in numbers, but in impact. It’s proof that when we invest in teachers, we invest in every student they touch. Together with our partners, SSC is proud to keep fueling the spark of education, ensuring every classroom has the tools — and the heart — to succeed.
