Teacher's Comments from Mrs. McElroy: Hurricane Sandy devastated the home of so many of my students. School provides safety and security in this time. I teach a class of 30 third grade students. They come from many different backgrounds and most from a low socioeconomic group. They love to learn and are eager to do their best. School is a huge influence in their lives, and it is important that we have all the tools to give students an enriching education....

Teacher's Comments from Mrs. Edri: On the evening of October 29th, my students and I lost our homes, school, and community with the passing of one tide as Hurricane Sandy devastated our community with of a ten foot wall of rushing water. Although we have been displaced from our school and our homes, we are Stronger than Sandy!... Our classroom has been moved to a temporary school, forty minutes away while our school is being repaired. We have done a superb job of re-creating our "old" classroom here in our temporary school but we need laptop computers. My students do not have access to a single computer in the classroom!...

Teacher's Comments from Ms. Sirangelo: Many of my students have recently been affected by Hurricane Sandy. Their homes have been flooded and they lost many of their possessions. I would like to provide a laptop computer station for them in my classroom to help them access the Internet and complete their science assignments... Many of my students do not have Internet access at home, so I want to provide for them a safe place for them to complete their assignments, homework and research...

Teacher's Comments from Mrs. Fahnholz: ...The students in my class witnessed a horrible weather event that has left many of them without homes, without clothes and without hope... I teach in a low-income school district which means many of my families work very hard to provide for their families with many of them working more than one job. This hurricane has devastated the town they live in, play in and go to school in. It is a very small town and the majority of it was under water the day after the hurricane... I have requested these chromebooks in the hope to help families at home as well as school. My goal is to use them in school and also use them as a lending library to help my families during this terrible time of transition. Some of my families lost everything so if I can loan these to them when needed until they get back to where they were pre-Sandy I think it would be such a great help...
