    Here at MS 61, our goal is to make sure that we provide a quality education that allows our students access to a 21st century classroom full of technology.

Having access to these materials made the transition back to in-person learning successful, we have been able to continue using the online learning platforms.

    The part that excites some students the most is that now completing their assignments on the iPad's are easy and their eyes aren't hurting. They are eager to complete most assignments online and we are moving towards a paper free classroom.

  • Celebrating... The End Of The School Year "At Home"

    Thank you so much for making this project possible for my fantastic 7th grade students. I received our project materials 2 weeks before the last day of school. The plan was to have students come to school to pick up their goodie bags but instead I was able to hand deliver a goodie bag to 43 students.

    My Students HAD a BLAST at the virtual end of year zoom CELEBRATIONS. They were excited and thankful that Family, friends and strangers donated to this project.

    On behalf of my students and myself, I thank you again for making my students end-of-year celebration possible. It is my sincere hope that the kindness that you sowed into the lives of my students may come back to you ten-folds.”

My students will use the printer daily, since many of them are from single parent household and live below the poverty line. Buying a printer is not at the top of their must have list. This makes it extremely difficult on our students, as most assignments must be typed and printed. Not having access to a printer provides additional challenges for our future readers, writers, mathematicians and scientist and we spend most of our class time copying notes instead of engaging in activities. As a title I school we do not have the funds to provide a printer that All students would have access to. It is essential that our students have their learning time maximum and fully supported so they can be successful.
