Hi Friends and family!!! 

We got the computers just over a month ago and have been using the ALEKS intervention program full swing since. Our kids LOVE the aleks program and really enjoy using the computers!!! Another awesome win is that our 3rd grade class now only has 2 students who are below grade level. We started the year off with 14 students below grade level. The intervention program we have created here at Mountain Vista is a HUGE part of that and the computers have allowed us to reach students consistently which we were not able to last year. Because I'm half time, last year I was only able to provide intervention 2-3 times per week. With the computers and the Aleks program our students are receiving 2x the intervention they received last year and we are already seeing that pay off before thanksgiving!!! I am having my students write thank you notes this week. So keep your eyes out for a mail box full of thank yous coming in the next couple weeks. :)

Thanks again all!! This is a HUGE and wide reaching gift!!!

Hi friends!

The check from Pledge Cents just arrived and I was able to get a quote from the tech department. My campaign ended up being enough to purchase 7 laptops for my student!!! This is HUGE!!! I am so excited and so are my students! Thank you again for your generous support both for me and for my students!

School started Sept 18th and it has been so fun getting back into the swing of things with my students! My para (teacher's assistant) is a dream come true too. She has been teaching since 1992. She is so comfortable and confident around kids as well as having great content knowledge. I'm learning from her and she's technically my assistant.SO cool!

More updates to follow including pictures and some data once the computers come in (hopefully some time next week). 

Thanks again! Totally overwhelmed by you friends!

Cheers,

Hally

WOW!!!! Friends! Thank you SO MUCH!!! We met the goal!!! This is INCREDIBLE!!! I am SO excited! My cause got a little blurb on Channel 11 news on the evening of Aug 11 and it got fully funded THAT NIGHT!!! I am absolutely overwhelmed with thanks and joy! I am really excited for this year and all it holds for my students! Thank you ALL for believing in me and for believing in my students!!!

Pledge Cents has decided to keep my project open for 2 more days (until Friday 8/14) for bonus investments. Extra computers/tablets cost about $400 so the $2260 already raised will let me purchase 5 devices. My hope was to have 10 and my school district had promised me 5 from left over laptops but I got an email on the 11th that they had miscounted the number of teachers in our district and those laptops they promised me will have to go to teachers. Ultimately I need 10 to be able to reach as many students as hope to. Each individual computer will let me serve between 5-15 students, depending on their level of intervention need. So please, if your heart is willing, any bonus investments will help me get one more device into the hands of my students. 

And THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of you who have already donated! I CANNOT thank you enough! 

HURRARY!!!! WE DID IT!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)
