Thank you all for supporting our teachers who give our kids the most amazing educational experience. Mr. Abikzer's project was fully funded and Mr. Rahman's just has under $500 to go! 

Mr. Rahman is raising funds to obtain reMarkable Paper Pro tablets—an innovative tool that combines the best of handwritten notes with digital convenience. These tablets will allow students to write, sketch, and organize their work in a way that feels natural, without the distractions of traditional devices. Whether they’re brainstorming ideas, annotating readings, or keeping track of assignments, this technology will help them stay focused and engaged.
