Help me give my students iPads for a chance to express themselves throughout daily lessons and activities.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mena Bellantoni's classroom raised $824
This project is fully funded
My Project
The children in my class are a hardworking, loving group of students who have limited means of communication. Adding iPads into our class will help each student interact and engage in daily lessons and activities. Many students use communication boards and PECs symbols to help communicate their wants and needs. You would be amazed how my students come to life when they are given iPads to help boost their confidence and are able to communicate and demonstrate their skills. By receiving classroom iPads, my students social, communication and academic skills will flourish.
More than three‑quarters of 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
