My Students: An HP laptop capable working with a projector will really help my students in so many ways. With such equipment, I will be able to project on a whiteboard so many things that an updated computer is able to do. There are so many websites we could visit as a class enabling us to discuss key issues.

My students are ten and eleven years old and are at an age where it is so important to make their learning interesting and fun. When students are fully involved and focused on what they are learning, they internalize it. I take pride in knowing that my students are fully involved in their learning and take ownership of it.

My Project: Having an HP laptop that is capable of working with a projector will make learning more interesting for my students. I can make up study games like Jeopardy or Concentration to help my students prepare for tests and cement their learning. There are so many activities that we would be able to complete as a class via the computer that my students now have to go to the computer lab.

Please help us bring the newest technology into the classroom. Today's students need to work with this type of equipment to be better prepared for tomorrow's world. Thank you for helping them achieve this! hide»

"Thank you so very much for your donation Jo Ann. I know my students and I will get a lot of good use from this laptop. I also won a camcorder from CDW for an environmental project we did last year. I look forward to directing more student problem based learning units. Paired with this laptop, we will be able to make our own class movies! I appreciate your generosity and your commitment to education and future generations."

Dear Barbara, SONIC Drive-In, Jo Ann and Anonymous Donors, 

Thank you all so very much for helping to fund this project for my classroom and my students. This laptop, especially paired with a projector will help so many subjects come alive for my students. We will be able to do class, group, and mini lessons using this.
Thank you! You make a difference in this world and are a positive influence on the future of our country! There is no greater gift than making a difference in the life of a child.

With gratitude,
Ms. A.
