Chromebooks for Early County HS Students
Tax deductible
During the pandemic, remote learning has become the new norm. Without proper technology such as internet access or devices (laptops, tablets, etc), it’s nearly impossible for all students to receive a fair chance at education. I want to become a resource for these students.
I'm raising money in conjunction with Think About It! Consulting Services Inc., where 100% of donations will go towards the purchase of Chromebooks, with help from my guys at Cxmmunity. These devices will go directly to Early County High School students in need and will be theirs to keep! Any donation no matter how small will help make an impact.
A recent study reported that 43% of students in Early County do not have access to either high speed internet or an at-home learning device. Since the decision was made for Early County schools to continue some form of remote learning at the start of the school year, these students need our help now more than ever.
We all know the importance and impact of technology and access to information. My hope is that we can start to close the digital divide by providing these students with a device they can keep with them from high school to hopefully college and beyond. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
