Kindles Donated to Jackson Elementary

Jackson Elementary has been working hard to raise money for the Tech Pal program, designed to incorporate technology into the classroom. The goal is to raise enough money to purchase Kindle Fires for the 4th and 5th grades.

Recently, a very generous anonymous donor donated 40 Kindle Fires to the program. With the proceeds from the Jackson Heritage 5k donated by the Jackson Township Supervisors, a spirit sale, student donations, donations from Gilkey Pools, Dr. Joseph Cavalier, Dr. Donald Leckey and other business donations, Jackson Elementary was also able to purchase a charging cart. The Jackson Elementary PTO also donated Amazon gift cards to help with the cost of apps.

From the students, faculty and staff, we would like to thank all of those who support our students at Jackson Elementary.

Jackson Elementary is still accepting donations to continue purchasing Kindle Fires so that each student in 4th and 5th grade has their own to save their work and progress on. If you are interested in becoming a Tech Pal, please contact Jackson Elementary at 814-749-8421.
