My Project
In our classroom, learning doesn't stop at the textbook. My students are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world around them—but they’re held back by a lack of access to reliable technology. With only a few outdated devices to share, students often have to wait their turn, lose valuable class time, or struggle to complete digital assignments. In an age when so much learning is online, this digital divide puts my students at a real disadvantage.
With your support, we can bring new laptops into the classroom that will make a world of difference.
These devices will allow students to conduct research, collaborate on projects, develop digital literacy, and access personalized learning platforms that support their growth. Whether they're preparing for Regents exams, building presentations, or drafting essays, having a laptop of their own during class means more time to focus, create, and thrive. For many of my students, this will be their first time having consistent access to up-to-date technology.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to a more equitable and engaging classroom. These laptops aren’t just tools—they’re gateways to opportunity. Thank you for believing in our students and helping to build a learning environment where every child has the chance to succeed, connect, and lead in the digital world.
