Our school is a middle class school. We have working families that typically do not have extra money to donate, even though they would like to. Our school does not have enough free/reduced lunch status to qualify for Title 1 funding, yet we do not have an affluent PTA with money to spend on classrooms. We are stuck in the middle of these groups and we do not want our students to suffer because of this. Our school and school district were able to purchase computer programs to help our students succeed, but it was overlooked that our classrooms only have 2 computers each for, on average, 18 students (as well as the teacher) to use. We begged for an additional computer that is shared by 5 classes. It is our hope to acquire more computers to give all students an opportunity to make good use of the programs we already have available to us. We have a common area that is pictured with this application that we plan to use for a technology resource lab. That is where the laptops will be used.
