Zipper Binders Needed for Fouse Elementary School
On the Wish ListFouse Elementary students are in need of five 3 ringed zipper binders to carry between their classrooms. Neutral colors are appreciated!
Help Westerville Students Succeed: Laptops/Chromebooks Needed
On the Wish ListWe’re reaching out for local students who currently do not have access to a computer or reliable way to complete digital assignments at home. Due to severe financial constraints, these families are unable to afford a computer, creating a barrier for the student when accessing online assignments, portal work, and digital learning resources after school hours.
As so much of today’s learning depends on online platforms, this lack of access is making it difficult for them to keep up with schoolwork and fully engage in their education. These students are motivated and want to succeed- they just need the tools to do so. Your support can directly impact their ability to learn, grow, and stay on track academically. New or gently used laptops or Chromebooks (with chargers) are requested to help bridge this gap and make a meaningful difference. Monetary donations can also be to help purchase devices.
