My Project

Dear [Potential Donor],

I am writing to you to express a vital need within my classroom for computers.

While the district does provide computers, there's a significant issue with the repair system, causing students to wait for six weeks or longer to get their computers back. During this time, students are left without access to a computer for instruction, compelling me to bring one of my personal computers to school for 20 or more students to share on a first-come, first-served basis. Unfortunately, I only have two computers available for their use.

As an educator deeply committed to fostering a dynamic and engaging learning environment, I have observed firsthand the transformative impact that technology can have on students' academic growth and overall educational experience. However, our current resources fall short in providing students with the necessary tools to thrive in today's digital age. With your generous support, we can bridge this gap and ensure that every student has access to the technological resources they need to succeed.

Your donation of computers would not only enhance classroom instruction, but also empower students to develop essential 21st-century skills that will serve them throughout their academic and professional endeavors. I initially requested four computers, but given the demand and the challenges we face, I believe at least ten additional computers would significantly benefit our students. Thank you for considering this request and for your dedication to supporting education. Your contribution will undoubtedly make a lasting impact on the future leaders of tomorrow.
