My Project

Our goal is for every student to have access to fun and engaging lessons that allow students to take learning into their own hands.

This Macbook would allow our students to conduct research, participate in interactive lessons with our fabulous Promethean technology and be immersed in science conversations and activities without the worry of our current laptops freezing and shutting down in the middle of our lesson.

With this laptop, we will be able to replace the broken one, making learning equitable for all the students in the classroom. Let’s prepare our students for the future and for the use of technology in the world today!
