My Students

Amazing 10th graders in an urban environment! Hard workers with limited supplies!

I have been working in this urban school my entire life and had the privilege of attending this high school, being part of this community means the world to me.

My kids deserve the world, and I am hoping this new technology will show them that you can attend this school system and do anything and be whoever you want to be! It would be great for my kids to see people supporting them!

My Project

I am able to use a hard top school computer to provide instruction on the days school is open. I have purchased my own Chromebook, but it is not getting the job done for live instruction on days the school is closed for cleaning. I believe this new technology will help me with providing better instruction! I am hoping that there will be better processing and less glitches so I can better connect with my students with this MacBook. It has been a crazy year and any donation will really make a difference!
