My Project

I'm reaching out for help in getting backup power cords for our student's Chromebooks. If a student forgets their charger at home or in their locker, and their battery runs out, it can be challenging for them to participate in many of our classroom activities. I teach four sections of Child Development class each with around 30 students. Fortunately, my classroom is equipped with plenty of power outlets, so having a supply of backup chargers would ensure that no student misses out on a moment of learning.

Students could easily check out a power cord when needed and return it at the end of class.

Your support in providing these chargers would make a big difference!

Thank you for considering this request!
