PLEASE DONATE!  If every child raises $25, we can fund the events above AND reach our goal for the year:  TECHNOLOGY TOOLS FOR THE CLASSROOMS!

We would like to raise enough money to continue the events above and provide affordable tech learning tools for each grade level to assist with student learning.  Please help us support learning through technology by donating to the school PTC.
