Lenovo gives back with a Clear The List giveaway

Teachers invest their time, energy, and creativity every day to nurture, challenge, and bring out the best in students. But too often, they also have to make financial sacrifices to meet classroom needs. 

#ClearTheList is a social media movement started by a teacher in Texas to help solve the lack of classroom supplies educators often face. The average teacher spends $479 out of pocket on notebooks, pens, and other back-to-school supplies each year. Clear the List requests that individuals and organizations bridge the gap by fulfilling teachers Amazon Wish Lists.  

This year, Lenovo decided to take things one step further by committing $10,000 to help teachers clear their lists entirely. Participants were invited to post to the Lenovo Education Twitter handle tagging #LenovoClearTheList for a chance to win a $500 gift card to use toward supplies.  

More than 500 teachers participated in the giveaway. On August 16, the winners were randomly selected, representing schools all over the country. 

Congratulations to all our winners! We are honored to help you spend less time worrying about your back-to-school budget and more time teaching.
