    We would like to thank you so very much. Because of your donation for the new technology, we are going to be able to have so many options opened up to us. We will be using them for experiments, collecting data, research.

    Our school benefits by having greater access to technology. This world is always advancing and schools are being left behind. With technology, our learning will not be limited. We are fortunate to receive these so we can advance our learning and be prepared for our future.

    What's exciting to use this new technology for us, is that we'll take learning to a whole new level. We'll be able to try new ways to help better understand.

  • It's Kool to Behave at ScKool!

    Funded Jan 8, 2022

    Thank you so very much for believing in this project and my students!!! I hope that you will continue helping those in need and may you be blessed for giving a helping hand.

    Already, this program is getting my students to think about what a model student should look like. I also hear them making comments to others that are misbehaving by making statements like " that is not model student behavior " and the unruly student slowly but surely changes.

    My students appreciate having their hard work not only recognized but applauded with a substantial incentive. Thanks again for investing in such a great group of students' education."”

  • Virtual Learning

    Funded Mar 10, 2021

    Our school just purchased a program, IXL, the devices has helped with not only struggling students but help those that are up to par excel even more. Thanks for funding this classroom project it has truly made a difference in my students' academic performances.

    My students are racing to get to class on time so they can go to the computer station. Having this technology in the class has afforded me the opportunity to work with smaller groups. I can work with the struggling student, but this has as also helped the advanced student as well. This has given them the opportunity to advance even more.

    They have gone above and beyond using the iPads to access more advanced material through the IXL program. Struggling students have use the iPads as well, especially for tutoring and studying for a test. I was excited to integrate iPads into my classroom so the students could excel even more. Thank you for taking the time to consider helping us make this possible!”

My students are from a poverty afflicted area with a limited knowledge of opportunity. Academically, they are one and two grade levels behind. Discouragement sets in when data shows our school to be among the lowest performing in the state, and the feeling of being left behind sneaks within the darkness of shadows. In spite of these dreadful details, the students are blissful, playful, and when given the chance are eager to learn. It takes dedicated educators to encourage the sparks that lie within the students. I teach at a Title I school where 100% of the students are on free or reduced price lunch. My students need 8 computers with cases and 2 LED signs to implement technology in the classroom. These materials will help tremendously in furthering my goal for proficient and advanced learners. My students do not have personal textbooks or workbooks. The book adopted by the district has online activities and tests.
