My Project
I am seeking to get a new laptop because mine is really outdated. I need to bring it up to date so that I am able to teach the children all that I need for them to learn to start Kindergarten.
I have 16 amazing students that come from low income families.
This project would help us out tremendously especially during our morning meeting when the students come together to sing, dance and learn things such as their letter sounds. We also use it during naptime to play soft jazz music as the children rest.
More than half 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
