Mrs. S. Franklin Fine Arts Center
Chicago, IL Grades 6-8

I am a 6th language arts and science teacher at an inner-city magnet school for the fine arts. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and learn at different paces.

The school is very limited in our resources. We do not have computers for student use in the classroom. Having a laptop will allow students who struggle with writing to use this assisted technology to create and publish their original writing.

This laptop will give students the opportunity to use current technology in the classroom setting to become independent writers.

Your help will make it possible for my students to become stronger authors and enjoy the writing process.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
