My Project

My students are an amazing diverse group of young learners. Unfortunately, middle school tends to be a forgotten group when it comes to funding. A lot of my students are coming in without even basics like pencils or notebooks, let alone a fully charged iPad. I want to make this year easier for my kiddos by making sure my classroom is clean, stocked, and hopefully they can charge their school iPad too.

Another iPad charging station will mean ALL of my students can charge their iPad.

At the moment, I can’t even charge half my class at once. Considering my students can access their grades, quizzes, books, and reading programs on their devices, this makes a big difference to them. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
