The Technology Committee was formed this year, as part of the PTSA, to pursue our goal of “Smart Classrooms.” Each Smart Classroom would have a SMART Board (an interactive white board), an AirLiner (a slate that allows you to interact wirelessly with the SMART Board) and a document camera (which is similar to an overhead projector but can scan both still or moving objects as well as two and three dimensional objects.)

A letter was sent out with every student on Wednesday kicking off our technology drive. We are very excited to work towards achieving this goal. With the help of our generous donors our money will go even farther. 100% of all donations received will go towards the purchase of technology in our children's classrooms.


Our Generous Donors:
John & Cherie McDowall - The McDowall Company
Plato's Closet
Anonymous Oak Hill Family


Watch the progress below, as we receive donations toward our goal. As of 10/30/09 we have raised $2,996.67 to date. Each SMART Board costs approximately $1,200 so for every dollar up to $4,800 will be matched. To reach our goal of converting every classroom to a "SMART Classroom" we are hoping to raise approximately $60,000. Thank you for your consideration and for making a difference in the lives of our children.
