Funded Dec 30, 2020

Thank you again for your incredible generosity, New Castle County! I was eager to support my students with these new resources, and I am truly fortunate for your generosity.

These resources supported my students and my teaching throughout virtual and hybrid learning this year. In terms of teaching, the iPad and Apple pen allowed me to teach concepts in economics, statistics, and election data in an engaging and informative way. My instructional role as an AP US History and AP World History is in addition to my role as a College Counselor. The second monitor truly made my roles possible with more than two dozen tabs open at a time including Zoom, Google Classroom, my lesson plan and PowerPoint, and college resources. My students repeatedly remarked that they felt like instruction did not skip a beat this year, and that they were able to learn and grow as much as they would if we were back in the classroom. Once we transitioned to hybrid instruction, the iPad, Apple pen, and second monitor allowed me to concurrently teach and engage my students within the building and over Zoom.

My students also enjoyed the Airpods and Bluetooth speaker which were raffle prizes for stellar attendance and participation in class. These prizes encouraged other students to increase their attendance and participation too!

It was a challenging year to teach virtually and in hybrid, but your donation allowed us to continue the rigorous, college-prep learning that our students want and deserve. More than 100 students were supported through this project, and I am truly grateful for your generosity.

Once again, THANK YOU, New Castle County!”

With gratitude,

Mr. Kevin
