Dear Oakridge Family and Community:
We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. During this season of giving, we would like to cordially invite you to support our Technology Capital Campaign which will jumpstart Principal Bergera’s long-term technology initiative designed to provide Oakridge teachers and students with the most optimal and up-to-date learning environment for years to come.
Studies have shown that technology in the classroom increases student engagement by allowing teachers to integrate their curriculum to be more accessible and appealing to students. Technology also encourages collaboration between students to create and share ideas and projects. Both teachers and students will increase productivity while exploring and enhancing their creativity. These four tenets are essential for our teachers to provide an enriching, rewarding and well-rounded learning experience for our children.
Our goal of $20,000 for this campaign, which starts today, November 29 through the end of the calendar year, will go towards technology upgrades including but not limited to new laptops for each grade level teacher, interactive touch boards, screen beams as well as regularly updating Chromebooks, when needed, for our students. New laptops will replace the five- to six-year-old desktops. State of the art interactive 72” LCD displays offer collaborative learning with an unprecedented touch experience and will replace antiquated smart boards.
The positive impact of this campaign will be immediate! We plan to procure the new laptops for teachers by January 2023 and the interactive touch boards by February or March.
Your generous donation is fully tax deductible through the Granite Education Foundation and will go directly to the Oakridge technology program. We encourage you to share this campaign link or QR Code with family and friends who are committed to a high-quality education for our children.
