Not only were the majority of our students homes heavily impacted by Hurricane Harvey; but our school was, too. Even though we are in the process of renovating the entire school, we provide a safe haven for our students. Our school may be the only "normal" they have for awhile. These iPads will offer a fun outlet for learning and will differentiate learning for all learners, no matter their ability. They will provide support in subjects the students need extra practice in by playing games and learning at the same time. Who doesn't want to have fun and learn simultaneously?
