"I am a Social Studies teacher of grades 9 through 12. I teach in a high-needs urban school. I have a wonderful group of diverse students with many different learning styles.

One of our biggest obstacles within our school district is that we lack the necessary resources needed to ensure student interest and mastery.

By receiving a broadband router and speakers, more of my students will able to access the Internet at one time. My room will be transformed from a regular classroom into a mini computer lab in minutes.

Your help will ensure student participation and excitement about learning. Please partner with me as we venture to improve students' learning capabilities.

My students need a wireless router, 2 speakers, and an ethernet patch cord.

Mr. M. sent this note after the project was fully funded:

Jan 2, 2010
Dear Greg, january, Rebecca and Dean and Barbara White Family Foundation, 
I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donation to my project. I am so happy that you share my vision for reaching children. It is extremely refreshing to know that there are people in the world that genuinely care about the future of our children.

The tools that you have funded will allow students to have access to the same materials and equipment that students in other communities have. For so long my students have accepted the notion that "we cant have some things at our school". I thank you for changing that idea.

I hope to share with my colleagues a new technique in learning. Thank you so much. I can't wait to introduce these tools to the children.

With gratitude,
Mr. M.

Photos coming soon!
