Distance Learners in Need

Help me give my students 5 laptop computers that they can use while schools are closed for distance learning and when they get back to school.

My Students

My school is a Title I school that sits in the heart of Washington, DC. I have a group of 50 students who are fun loving, eager to learn new things and excited about school. They love math and science. My classroom would be considered a melting pot of cultural heritage and social needs. Many of my students have been in the United States less than four years. They inspire me every day.

To meet their needs, we incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and independent learning options to ensure that all students' needs are met, right where they are!

My Project

My school district has decided to do distance learning for the next month in a half and many of my students do not have any technology to take part in video conferencing and class chats that I would like to use to continue teaching and interacting with the students. There is already access to free internet, but they are missing computers. We do not know how much longer schools will continue to stay closed and I would love to get more computers for my students.

Every donation is being doubled and could be the difference needed to get 5 computers in the hands of students who really need them!

There is a foundation that is matching every donation in order to help make this goal a reality, so please make a donation no matter how small the amount. If you are reading this, it is because you have access to the internet and a technology device, help give others what you already have. THANK YOU!!!
