Thank you so much for your generous donations. Your interest in the success of my students is extremely heartwarming. This printer will help to provide my students with the best possible resources for their continued growth and achievement in the classroom. Thank you all again for your kindness and support.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Strum

As teachers, there is more and more pressure to provide students with the most rigorous, valuable resources out there. Unfortunately, we are not always given the tools to make that happen. If I find a short story with interactive activities on the internet, this printer will allow me to print off copies for my class at the drop of a hat, rather than having to send it to the secretary in the office and wait days for copies. Sometimes the copies are denied because "we don't have enough ink." Other times I'm told that I should just project the text on the board and have the whole class read it that way. I like for my students to have their own copies of texts and activities so they can annotate and write their own notes right on it. This is what all critical thinkers should be doing and I hope this printer will help me foster more complex thinking in my classroom.
