Our students at the Middle School of Pleasantville operate under our school motto where “Everyone is a learner, everyone is a teacher, and everyone is a leader!” As a teacher in this low-income/high poverty school district I am amazed, and humbled, by the obstacles my students overcome daily in order to be successful students. In addition to being a classroom teacher I am also the 8th grade class advisor and have the awesome opportunity to celebrate our wonderful students for their academic achievements during our annual awards ceremony. During this ceremony students who have achieved academic excellence throughout the school year, including high academic standing and acceptance into the National Junior Honor Society, are celebrated and rewarded. My goal is to be able to gift the top ten highest academic achievers with laptops or chromebooks so they can continue to work hard and achieve their goals as they transition into high school. The majority of our students’ families can not afford these devices which leave the students at a disadvantage because their time to study and complete assignments is limited. The opportunity to provide these students with laptops or chromebooks will prevent them from falling victims to the digital divide and ultimately losing prime opportunity to advance in highschool and into college.
