Schools seeking donations in Illinois
Cahokia
Cahokia Unit School District 187 - We are an urban school district just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, MO. We are in very poor financial shape due to the minimal state funding and decreasing property values in our school area. We are constantly in need of newer technology, some of our computer equipment is over eight years old.
We are seeking Pentium four (or better) PCs and LCD monitors. If you can help, please email John Barr or phone 618-332-2191

Paul Revere - Ms. Valerie Docks writes: I work at a public school in the inner city of Chicago, IL. I am seeking to advance the learning of my students through innovative usage of technology. I will be teaching 7th and 8th grade science this school year and I would like to teach my lessons through usage of a LCD projector in order to provide visual aids for my students as I cover the various topics. I am seeking a laptop computer to use in conjunction with the LCD projector so I can develop powerpoint presentations and use the Internet in my lesson plans. Students seem more interested in learning when innovative technology is used. I am really focused on helping my students make significant academic gains in science this year, and the laptop computer will be put to excellent use in helping me to achieve this goal.
Seeking a Pentium IV, or better, laptop. If you can help, please email Ms. Docks or phone 708-822-7281
