Carter Academy’s Fundraising Efforts Enable Purchase of iPads for Teachers

Disponible en: Español

The Carter Academy staff and its PTA committed themselves to increasing the availability of technology in the classroom. The iPads will improve education and foster success in the classroom for all students.

To meet the school’s goal of raising $25,000 for new technology, Carter Academy has been hosting a number of fundraisers including participating in a Chuck E. Cheese Night, collecting Box Tops for Education, hosting a Winter Carnival, and participating in a couple of McTeacher’s Night at McDonald’s.

The efforts paid off. The campus purchased all 42 iPads. The teachers will also be provided with Apple TVs in order to make the devices more interactive.
