Help Ms. Allan

I wish to give my urban students a technologically rich educational experience that will rival the best public schools as well as our fellow charter schools in our city.

With the donation of a camcorder, my students will not only have the opportunity to become videographers, but will be able to submit their documentaries for an opportunity to win money toward their college education.

Working at a urban charter school offers many challenges but especially challenging is the level of technology currently available. This camcorder will allow my students to become the star of their own video, while learning more about the functions of our government.

My students represent the future of America and deserve the opportunity to have a technologically rich education that will help prepare them for leadership roles of the future. Your donation of a camcorder can be the first step in this important process.
