We were able to purchase three desktops with a memory upgrade, four laptops with memory upgrades, and four Lexmark network printers.

The laptops will help us to give each of the grade level teachers their own laptop. The desktops will be used to upgrade some of the first desktops purchased. The printers will go into classrooms where the students print out assignments on a daily basis.

The IBM matching grant program and our generous parents have truly blessed our school with state-of-the-art technology.
