Preparing For A Technological Future

My students need a laptop and speakers that are compatible with our projector, as well as a scanner, so we can share work on our website.

My Students

Help prepare us for a world full of wonderful technology!

My class has very diverse population with many different backgrounds as well as levels.

Since our school is not a Title I school, we don't have extra funding for this type of request. My class deserves an equitable education. They need to be prepared for college as well as their careers.

My Project

We need a laptop that will work with our projector. This way students can share presentations as well as benefit from teacher presentations. A scanner will help busy working parents stay connected. We will be able to post student work on our website.

With these generous donations, my class will have access to multimedia presentations.

They will also be able to create and present their own work. Parent involvement is an important part of education. We will be able to include parents who work during the school day.
