My Students

In a town under 2,000 surrounded by seven glaciers, our pre-K through eighth grade school is the hub of our local community. Nearly 200 students attend our public school, and the doors are open before and after school as well as on the weekends for community gatherings, classes, and activities for all ages. Approximately 15% of our students receive special education services and 20% are economically disadvantaged. Most students do not have access to needed services if they are not offered through our public school. Donations to our school have a positive impact not only on our students but also in our whole community.

My Project

Covid-19 has presented new challenges for us all. Help us adapt to our new distance learning needs by providing a smart-technology, speaker-tracking, interactive Meeting OWL Pro for our classroom.

Connect, engage, and reassure students that their quality education will continue.

Virtual classrooms depend upon quality tools being made available to students. If the video or audio is poor, vital learning may be lost. What once may have been considered a luxury, now has become a necessity.

Help us leverage the proven conferencing tools of a professional-grade webcam to continue to give our students the rigorous education they deserve. And when they are allowed to return to school, this webcam technology will continue to be a valuable tool for enhancing our ability to Mystery Skype, go on virtual field trips, and interact with other classrooms around the globe.
