Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I am a Media Specialist for a high school in rural Pender County, North Carolina. We currently have 51% of our students receiving free lunch and 6.75% are English Limited. Being a very poor county, with an increasing population, causing funds to be extremely limited. Because we have limited funds we are unable to have in house Advanced Placement (AP) courses taught. We have three students taking AP courses through NC Learn, an online learning environment provide free of charge for schools in need. The three computers that these students are using are old and they are in need of new mice. We would like to request 3 optical mice for our AP students to use in class.
