• High-Quality Instruction During a Global Pandemic

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  On March 19, 2019 all teachers and students were sent home thinking we were all going to come back to school after two weeks. That did not happen at all. We started the new school year with distance learning and very little technology support. My students can barely hear me, they would complain that I was glitchy, and my slides were lagging or would not open.

  I quickly learned that to be able to provide my students with high-quality instruction I needed reliable technology. When we received the Macbook Pro my student were ecstatic. I was able to provide them quality lessons that would keep them engage and learning despite the circumstances.

  At that point we were all unsure what the rest of the school year would look like, but thank to donors like you, my students and I knew we would be able to keep learning and stay connected. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you.”

  Thank you so much for your extraordinary generosity. The new headphones my students received thanks to you will make learning more accessible for them.

Giving them an infinite amount of opportunities to learn in a more interactive and engaging way.
