First School Upgrade Project in the Running

2012-01-18

This month marked the beginning of Dolan Automotive Group’s newest Facebook contest: “The $30,000 School Upgrade Project.” The project allows Northern Nevada principals to submit a proposal on behalf of their students and teachers to fund a $10,000 school upgrade.

The first entry comes from Hunsberger Elementary School Principal Sally Scott. Hunsberger was among the winning schools in this past fall’s “Class Project,” and teacher Chantal Dibble’s 2nd grade class won $2,500 towards their project, “Learning by Leaps with Laptops.”

Principal Scott’s project has a similar theme to Ms. Dibble’s with her entry, “Computers on the Run!” “What has now happened is that our school’s computer lab is being closed for computer-based student testing so often that our students’ computing skills are suffering,” wrote Principal Scott in her submission entry. Her proposal requests one or two classroom sets of laptops and charging carts to house them, so students will continue to have the use of computers while the school’s lab is closed for these mandated tests.

School Upgrade projects must be submitted by Tuesday, February 14th. Voting on proposals will begin on February 15th. For details on the $30,000 School Upgrade, click here, or visit our Facebook page.
