Help me give my students the iPad to create music as equitably as students attending private schools.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bortka's classroom raised $3,055
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
We will use this iPad to create music. We will create our own school record company to sell and distribute our music. 100% of the profits will be put back into the community.
It is important that our students have equitable access to technology that private and non-Title 1 schools enjoy.
Our school is a Title 1 school and do not have access to the funds for this type of technology. Our students often suffer from a lack of equity in technology and funding. Please help our students follow their dreams!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
