My students need new iPads and cases to keep up with technological advances.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barbara Snell's classroom raised $915

My Students
Cooperation and critical thinking are becoming the foundation for education. Companies have specifically outlined that new employees lack cooperation and skills to work with a group.
Finding the funding for the materials we need to keep them engaged can be challenging.
These students come to my class already at a disadvantage because we are a Title I school. However, just because we lack the funds does not mean we lack the drive to succeed. The students who enter my class are yearning for knowledge and information. They have personality and drive unlike any other. They need the close interaction in social situations to thrive and develop the skills they need for the future.
My Project
Technology is becoming the foundation for education. Even the mayor has set forth initiatives to increase technology education. We need more technology to get them ready for the ever advancing world around them.

These students come to my class already at a disadvantage because we are a Title I school. However, just because we lack the funds does not mean we lack the drive to succeed. The students who enter my class are yearning for knowledge and information. They have personality and drive unlike any other. What they lack is money. They lack resources to keep them up to date on technology projects.
