Technology and Writing in the ELA Classroom

Funded Aug 10, 2023

Your generous donation allowed us to purchase an iPad, books, and notebooks for our alternative high school students. These items will positively impact our students' education.

Being skilled in using technology is a critical life skill for modern students. Providing them with a lightweight, versatile, up-to-date device improves their skills in using browsers and accessing apps. It also helps keep engagement strong.

Students have strongly connected with Trevor Noah's book Born a Crime, leading to some wonderfully powerful and meaningful conversations. One student indicated this is the first full-length book she has read since before the pandemic. Thank you for helping to reignite students' love of reading!

Many of our students come from lower socioeconomic groups, so providing them with consumables (notebooks) removes an obstacle to their academic success.

Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated!”

With gratitude,

Ms. James
