Our sixth grade is comprised of 130 amazing students, many of whom come from bilingual households and or receive free or reduced price lunch. Last year, this group of learners showed remarkable academic growth regardless of demographics with several of them making grade level proficiency in Language Arts and Math for the first time in several years. One key to their success was the use of computer resources in the classroom (IXL, Ten Marks, and Khans Academy). The shortfall is that we have to share a computer cart with four classes on our grade level and the technology department in our school can pull the carts to meet testing needs in the building. We would like your help in acquiring five (5) computers for the Math Class.
