My Project

We are seeking support to purchase TWO SMART BOARD one for our high school classroom and one for our middle school students. Many of our students thrive with hands-on, visual, and interactive instruction Smart Boards allow us to present content in ways that meet diverse learning needs supporting everything from differentiated instruction to behavior support visuals and real-time collaborative activities.

As educators serving inner-city students with special needs, we know that access to interactive and adaptive technology can transform how our students engage with learning.

These students deserve the same opportunities as their peers in more resourced districts. With your help, we can close that gap and provide tools that foster confidence, participation, and academic growth.

Every contribution makes a difference. Thank you for helping us create an inclusive, engaging, and equitable learning environment.
