My Project

Thank you for considering our project. I am posting this on behalf of the whole school. We are a school with many low income families and house many students new to this country. While it is amazing to watch how quickly our students learn English, we still want to make sure we can communicate effectively with them in the mean time. Many of our staff members use their personal time to self teach the other languages, but this communication device will help us tremendously.

The key to learning is communication.

Your donation will help our students speak with us and allow them to understand what we are teaching them. My goal is to have a translator device for each grade level.

Thank you

Ms. Poepplein Gould Elementary School Grades 3-5
