Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our district is a one to one district, but not all students have the same devices. I currently have some older laptops that are not touchscreen and run very slow that some must use.

My students need faster computers to do their work more efficiently.

By receiving these laptops, my students will be able to get to their work faster, and even at all sometimes.

As technology advances, so do the classrooms. 97% of the work my students do is all online. These computers are a necessity for effective planning and implementation of the curriculum. It will in turn increase student output.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
