My Students

With constant budget cuts to the school system, schools are falling behind in providing students innovative resources and meeting the educational expectations.

Our school is situated in a low-socioeconomic urban community in Broward.

Over 80% of the students are on Free and Reduce Lunch.In combination to this, the diversity of our school is inclusive of students from LGBT, Haitian, Mexican, Lativan households and much more! Diversity is well celebrated and appreciated because it is our school's mission to cultivate globally minded scholars

My Project

The goal is to raise enough money to purchase an iPad Mini (with case) to use in small learning groups (5 students each) and also as 1-on-1 learning tools. With thousands of free educational apps, the iPad Mini has the greatest potential in the classroom setting. There are educational apps that help students who are struggling with reading or other subjects, not only to catch up to current grade level, but exceed grade level ability. The iPad Minis and educational apps can turn a struggling student's negative educational experience into a life-changing positive experience.

With Apple being one of the most used technologies in the world, our IPad Minis will give our students the chance to learn with students in other cities, states, and countries.

Using FaceTime and Skype, the iPad Mini will not only give our students the opportunity to learn about people from other cultures and countries, but also learn with people from other cultures and countries. Help give our students the technology of today so they can invent the future that we couldn’t even dream being possible.
