My Project

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not, but the confidence of familiar areas of life to succeed on their PSAT and various types of exams.

Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology.

Ms. Stuckey Old Redford Academy Preparatory High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
