Curley science teacher Ms. Felicetti currently has a crowd-funding donation campaign on donorschoose.org called Science Sleuths Need Technology in Order to Excel! She hopes to raise funds for computer equipment to support her students’ science and math work.

Here’s the thing: donate by end of day today, January 14, and the Disney Corporation will match that donation up to $100, essentially doubling the gift.

Just enter the code DISNEY on the payment page and you’ll be matched dollar for dollar (up to $100).

Most, but not all, of our students have families severely affected by the current economy. These are students who have no computer at home to help with their school work and no printer to help with presentations. For these children, the classroom offers their only access to this sort of technology.

Our classroom has one desktop computer, and no working printer.

Having access to a printer would allow all of my students to see their work in print, and add graphs and pictures to their classwork and projects. Their work and presentations will shine!

I believe that these materials will improve the learning in my classroom. The projector will assist my students with increased understanding of our lessons and materials. The document camera will allow us to showcase quality classwork. The printer will help us with presenting work in a high-quality fashion.

These tools will help to boost students’ self-esteem and assist with motivation. How, you ask? When your hard work is presented in a professional manner, it can only lead to pride.

Thanks for your help!
