Crystal Clear Projection!

My students need a new projector to use with our document camera. Please rescue us from learning with the lights off in order to see the screen!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Grispo's classroom raised $693

My Students

Save our eyes! Our current projector is on its last leg, and we must flip the lights on and off all day long in order to use it. You cannot see the projections with the lights on, and the dark room makes it very difficult to see what we're working on.

My students are terrific 3rd graders in a wonderful community with amazing parents.

5 years ago, the parent club funded ELMO document cameras and EPSON projectors for the teachers. Now, the projectors are on their last legs. My students deserve a working projector that will allow me to continue to provide engaging lessons for all.

My Project

A new projector will save us from the current state we are in with our old one. We must flip the lights on and off all day, off to use the projector. The internal fan consistently blows a noisy and distracting sound, and still the machine overheats and is unusable for awhile. Losing our projector will leave our ELMO useless, and in this day and age, that is unacceptable. Please help us see and learn clearly!

A new projector will be an instant and incredible improvement for my students, now and in the future.

Being able to SEE the images while keeping the lights on will be amazing! We will be able to continue the ongoing excellence at our school, and experience the same thing at the same time. Your donations are greatly appreciated!
