Help My Students Learn with Essential Classroom Laptops

Help me give my students what they need. I strive to give my students excellent lessons by customizing their learning. Unfortunately, my classroom laptop was ruined during the tornado in Saint Louis, MO.

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Dear Supporters,

As a dedicated high school math teacher, I strive to create a learning environment where every student can fully engage with lessons and technology.

Unfortunately, after the recent tornado in Saint Louis, my classroom laptop was damaged beyond repair.

I am requesting two laptops to help restore my ability to teach effectively:

One laptop will remain connected to our Smart Board so I can run interactive math lessons, display examples, and keep students engaged in real time.

The second laptop will be used for essential administrative tasks such as attendance, grading, and communication—allowing me to stay organized and focus my energy on supporting my students.

Technology plays a critical role in helping students visualize concepts, work collaboratively, and develop problem-solving skills. Without reliable laptops, these opportunities are limited.

Your support will help me continue providing high-quality, tech-integrated instruction and ensure my students don’t miss out on the tools they need to succeed.

Thank you for considering making a difference in our classroom!

With gratitude,

Mrs. Nelsa Cedeno
