Please Help My Students Rock & Roll This New Year!

Help me give my students an amazing start in my Special School Resource Room! Having iPads accessible will give students an opportunity to practice their math skills, improve letter recognition, and excite them about reading!

My Project

I work in a special education resource classroom for grades 3-5. My students would be incredibly thankful to improve our technology needs in our amazing classroom. I am writing to respectfully request a donation of six (6) iPads. We are located in a low-income community. Our school serves students with diverse learning needs, many of whom face not only academic challenges but also significant economic hardships. These iPads would provide critical support to help our students access individualized learning tools and achieve their full potential. The iPads would allow students to improve their reading, math and letter recognition skills to help prepare them for middle school.

PLEASE consider making a donation to my precious 13 students who belong to the community of University City, Missouri.

All of my students receive a special education curriculum. Many students struggle academically, as well as socially and emotionally!
