My students need Norton Antivirus software to keep our computer virus free.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Oszust's classroom raised $243
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I work in the most economically depressed area in our nation. Most of my students' families fall below the poverty line. Many are on public assistance; many others are barely surviving. Yet, my students are expected to meet the same educational standards as more affluent students of New York.
Our students are given research projects that require that they have access to computers and printers.
Less than 25% of our students have computers with Internet access at home. When they do, they often lack the ability to print reports because they lack the funds to purchase paper, or printer ink cartridges. They must rely on the school's resources to complete their assignments.
My Project
My project will ensure that the students will have an opportunity to complete their work with the use of the school's computers. The Norton Antivirus software is needed to protect the various computers that were donated to our school through DonorsChoose. Without the proper protection that the Norton Antivirus software will provide, I fear that our computers would fall victim to internet viruses.
The research assignments I give my students are designed to prepare them for what they will do in college. They are not just about gathering information, but rather organizing, presenting and communicating what they have learned to others.
This will ensure that they have access to the same material as everyone else.
My job is to do everything in my power to help our students graduate high school and advance to college.
Help me help those most in need to succeed. Help me ensure that our computers are protected for all to use. Thank you for your generosity! Thank you for supporting public education in New York City.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
