Help me give my students a new MacBook Air to replace our old projector computer.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Odom's classroom raised $1,826
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
Our school is located in the poorest congressional district in the nation, and all students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. The school is predominately Latino and African American. Thirty percent of the students are English language learners, and some are the first of their families to graduate. Despite all of this, 100% of our graduating seniors are college or career bound.
Our students should have the same opportunities as any other student in the country.
They work hard to succeed without letting anything get in their way. As a community school, each year our graduation rate has increased, and we want to make their learning as meaningful and purposeful as possible.
By replacing the broken MacBook Air, you would be directly supporting the education of all of our seniors students. This donation would help to ensure that all students have equal access to the tools they need to succeed in school and in their future careers.
The computer we used to have, has broken down after eight years in our classroom. It's time for an upgrade.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
