  • Zoom Meetings

    Funded Jul 20, 2021

    I can't thank you enough for providing the items needed to conduct virtual meetings. Now that school is back to in-person learning, parents in my school may not be allowed to come to the school building to have meetings. These items really help with me having those necessary meetings with parents.

    While having meetings with my seniors who are applying to college it is imperative to have some of the parents involved in this process. I conduct these meetings with the students in my office and their parents on zoom, which can allow all of us to be involved in the student's college process. Thank you so much. We appreciate your donation.”

    With gratitude,

  • Getting Organized During Remote Learning

    Funded Nov 23, 2020

    Thank you very much for providing materials so we can get organized during remote instruction. This pandemic has really been very challenging for everyone in the school community, staff, students and parents. We will return to in person learning soon and the materials provided will help everyone stay a bit organized. We appreciate everything we have and receive from you. Some are not able to get this amazing opportunity to return to school and be around staff and students. We are grateful that soon we will be able to and use the materials funded to us. Thank you again.”

  • Students in need

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    This donation has made a real positive impact on me and my students. I'm able to design lesson plans for college and career courses. In addition. My students can type their college essay, research and apply for colleges and apply for financial aid. I have also used this laptop to collaborate with my colleagues to develop college lessons and curriculum's. My students often use this laptop to complete homework assignments and/or any missing assignments. They love that this laptop is touch screen and they are able to try touch screen laptop for the first time. My English Language Learners are the population who benefit more because this device helps correct their work with the help of using the proper grammar checklist. They also use it to prepare for the state exams. This device can also autocorrect some of the wording ..so my students are able to determine the correct word. This device help my students who do not have access to technology at home. They can stay afterschool to use the laptop to work on many different projects. This device has also helped me because I can travel with it to different classrooms and offices to ensure that students get the opportunity to utilize it if needed.”

As the college adviser I have seen the benefits of teaching with current technology, unfortunately, many inner schools like ours cannot afford or have access to current technology. This puts my students and others like them at risk of not succeeding, with your help, we can achieve and help hundreds of students with this one purchase. Less money should not mean lesser technology. With your support, we will be bale to provide current technology use for all students. In addition, this will allow me to prepare lesson plans, powerpoints to be presented in class and connect with each student through my presentations.
