  • Laptop = College and Career Ready Students

    Funded Mar 19, 2015

    Thank you for the MacBook Pro. It is a great help to my professional development. I am able to take it to professional development classes that require a technological device. I can search for supplemental resources and share these resources with my grade level. As grade level chair, the MacBook Pro will also help me to prepare professional development that I am responsible for presenting to my colleagues. This MacBook Pro also allows me to access data that is on-line. In addition, I now can teach with a more engaging approach exposing my students to the technological-based world.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Casaletta

  • Independent Study Nurtures Independent Thinkers

    Funded Jan 12, 2012

    Thank you for your generosity and time to fund my project. I know that these netbooks will be utilized to inspire and promote research skills, not only for my class this year but for future classes. Not only will students be taught research skills, but they will be able to make products utilizing the applications provided. This way students can share what they learned and keep up with today's ever changing technology. Technology in the hands of students is an necessity, and thanks to you it will be made possible.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Casaletta

I am privileged to be teaching twenty-nine tenacious and eager fifth grade gifted students, but lack the resources to help them research topics that they want to learn about in greater depth. Our school is a Title I school which means it has a sufficiently high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Most students do not have access to computers and Internet at home. With budget cuts, our school's ability to update and stay current with technology has become limited. The few computers the students can use are older than they themselves with no capabilities to receive software updates. Because we have over 800 students, each class can only visit the computer lab once a week for one hour.
