Kristen Bell is back at it again—and we’re not talking about the return of Veronica Mars. Last year the actress helped deserving teachers to get what they needed for their classrooms through the #10featuredteachers hashtag. Now Bell’s helping out again with the #FeaturedTeacherFriday campaign.
Through her #FeaturedTeacherFriday posts on Instagram Bell is making some very special teacher’s dreams come true. Each post includes a link to teacher-curated Amazon wish lists, which Bell encourages her IG followers to fill.

Bell’s latest share, Lanie, a fourth grade teacher from Texas, shared on IG, “The schools I’ve worked at are Title 1 schools, meaning that they receive federally funded support. For some of my students, school is the only place they will receive a meal and have as a safe space with someone to trust. Throughout the year I personally purchase my students supplies, backpacks, coats, clothes, books and snacks.”
And Lanie isn’t the only educator who regularly buys their own school supplies. Long Island sixth and seventh grade Spanish teacher Veronica Landa wrote, “The majority of the students at THMS are economically disadvantaged and come from low-income families. Students are also given free breakfast and lunch. Many of my students struggle to afford books and other resources needed to succeed academically.”
