    Your generosity is greatly appreciated. We were excited to tell the children about generous donors who care about them and their learning. They are so thankful to you for everything you have done for them.”

The 27 first graders in my class are from low income families. Most are new to this county! They do not have their own computers or access to the Internet and all of the amazing things it has to offer. They cherish the tech time they get at school. For many of them, school is the only place they can experience technology at all.
