While we have made excellent progress in upgrading technology, our need still remains. It is so important to our school that students have access to educational tools, that our teachers can utilize the best teaching methods, and that our school can stay competitive with the public schools in this area. Part two of our technology plan will address these needs. We hope to upgrade the rest of the staff computers, increase the internet capability in the building, and provide Chromebooks for the middle school. Replace Computers in Student Lab Replace Computers for Some Teachers Cost: $19,000 Replace Rest of Staff Computers YEAR 2: PROGRAM PLANS This year’s Crusader Celebration will once again include a Fund-ANeed appeal to support the second year of our Technology Initiative. YEAR 1: Technology Initiative Upgrade Bandwidth for Internet Service Purchase Chromebooks for Middle School Cost: $24,000 The cost for the second phase of this Technology Initiative is $24,000. This is a large goal, but PROGRAM COST one we are confident we can achieve by working together. Please prayerfully consider how you can share your blessings to help Holy Cross reach this goal. If you are not able to attend the event, or wish to give anonymously, please contact Anne Fredrickson at 952-652-6100.
