Help me give my students a video monitor and cart to use in aftercare to replace the old pull-down screen.

Our children are our future! Our children come to school eager to learn, and I have high expectations of what they can accomplish. One hundred percent of our students qualify for free breakfast and lunch. In spite of the many disadvantages and hardships they face, they try their best to succeed. Although many of our students read below their grade level, they enjoy coming to school and learning new things every day. My scholars inspire me to help them become the best they can be!
My students are intelligent and have a strong desire to be successful.
Unfortunately, the educational system has failed many of them for a long time. Most of my students do not have access to the Internet or computers at home.
Currently in the aftercare, we use a projector with a pull-down video screen. This means that any time we need to use a video screen, we have to turn out the lights in the room to see the screen. I would like a new video display in order to avoid doing this. We are returning to the school in January. A new video display for aftercare will provide a better viewing environment for my students. The math program uses a display component. In addition, I use Mystery Science for tutoring science, which also requires a display to show videos. Constantly turning lights on and off to view then work - rinse and repeat - can be a hassle some days.
A TV monitor display is bright enough to keep the lights on and go back and forth from viewing to working without playing with the lights.
This would be a welcome change for the classroom. We also need a stand to have the TV high enough for everyone to see but still be 6 feet apart.
