FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Batdorf's classroom raised $691

My Project

Our middle school students are excited to form a student news group. Our student directors, producers, reporters, and managers will lead the entire production. Giving students a say and amplifying their voices will have a positive impact on the climate and culture of our school.

Our innovative students have important stories to share.

This new iPad will help students to record their stories and other important events at our school. This will also improve communication and increase school spirit. Additionally, our students will learn important skills and have greater access to new technologies that will better prepare them for the workforce.
