My Students

My students live in a very high-crime and impoverished neighborhood. My school has been hit hard by budget cuts. Even with all of the world's problems weighing heavy on them, my students are the most joyful, positive and delightful people to be around. They deserve every advantage that I can offer them. That is why I try hard every day to give them the best education possible.

As a teacher in a low-income and high poverty school district, I need your help to provide my students with cutting-edge educational technology.

They do not get to use technology in the classroom unless I can provide that opportunity for them. That is why I need your help to make sure my students can have access to a world-class education through technology.

My Project

My students need a class set of retractable mice to use with their Chromebooks for completing research projects and assignments. My students have outgrown their old mice which are several years old, have become worn, and starting to breakdown.

My students need your help to purchase a class set of mice they can use to complete research in the classroom.

Since most of my students have a variety of abilities, I need to give them the best tools for navigating through a computer. The mouse pad can be very frustrating for my students to use. They need a good mouse to get their work done.
