Students need technology to learn.​

Partner schools include William H. Brown STEM Magnet School, R. Nathaniel Dett Elementary School, Jordan Community Elementary School, and Sherman School of Excellence

The Need for Chromebooks

After talking to our four partner schools and their Principals, it was clear that traditional Back-to-School materials for students are only effective if they have access to new technology.

​That's why we've decided to focus our fundraising efforts this Back-to-School season towards supplying our partner schools with Chromebooks, the most affordable and versatile  device that enables students to learn, engage, and connect with one another.
