Fundraising for Classroom Laptops 

Dream big or go home! Well I'm not ready to go home. I am a teacher and my kids are wunderkinds.  A wunderkind is a person who achieves great success, relatively young.
       I would like to purchase 30 laptops and a charging station to assist my students in writing papers, engaging in online disucssions, competing in digital escape rooms, afterschool tutoring and maybe learning how to type along the way.  I have the pleasure and honor of working with bright, intelligent, and eager young minds every day. They simply need an opportunity and the tools to be successful.
