Critical Ill Traumatic Brain Injured Students Need to Write

My students need 2 notebook computers.

Mr. Desimone Mount Pleasant - Blythdale School
Valhalla, NY Grades 9-12

I am the technology director for a school/ rehabilitation center for students Pre K-12. Many of my students have suffered through traumatic brain injury, cancer, and a variety of severe medical conditions.

Currently my district is facing severe financial constraints. I do not have a budget, because we have no money. Thus I must look for outside sources to only fund the absolute necessity.

I need these 2 notebook computers so that these students will be able to obtain the critical skills to pass their high school classes. All of these students need to obtain a viable means to take notes, and write assignments down in an easy manner.

Please help me so that I can help these students now and in the future. They have suffered greatly as well as their families. My goal is continue to provide the materials so that they may learn, like all other children. They deserve to be students of the 21st century.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
