Student Feedback
It’s fun having technology in school because we get to play games while we’re learning. It doesn’t even feel like we’re learning!
Candice - 8th grade
Our technology lets us learn visually. It’s better than just sitting there listening to someone talk.
Dylan – 8th grade
The technology we have helps us learn more because we are actually interested in what’s going on and learning how to do it.
Chelsea - 8th grade
I am very proud to have all of the technology that we have. Ashlan - 8th grade
These new computers we have this year are awesome! They’re as fast as lightning.
