Schools seeking donations in New York State
Brooklyn International High School - Mr. Fredrick Wambolt, English Teacher, writes: We are a team of 4 teachers who teach 90 11th graders at Brooklyn International High School, a public high school for recent immigrant students (90% of our students qualify for free lunch). As the population of the school has grown, desktops have been removed from our classrooms to provide enough computers in the shared computer lab. Competition for lab time has also increased greatly with the increase in population. Our ultimate goal is to have 3 or 4 Macs (G4 or G5) desktop computers in each of our 4 classrooms. A printer would help greatly as well. Thank you.
If you can help, please email Mr. Wambolt or phone 718-643-9315. The school is located at 49 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Brooklyn.
Greenburgh Academy (Greenburgh-North Castle UFSD) is part of the Greenburgh-North Castle UFSD, a special act school district servicing approximately 300 emotionally disturbed, learning disabled, and other special education classified students from the five boroughs of New York City and Westchester County. Greenburgh Academy, located in Yonkers, New York, has a population of 175 at-risk students (ages 12-21) with an array of remedial needs. The student population consists of children from low socioeconomic backgrounds; over 95% of the student body is eligible for free lunch and over 90% receive public assistance. The school's ethnicity is as follows: 60% Hispanic, 30% African American, 8% Caucasian, and 2% Asian. 100% of our pupils are classified as Title I students. These factors come together and place our children at a huge disadvantage, but Greenburgh Academy is committed to providing these students with a rigorous academic and therapeutic program.

Public School 216 - The Arturo Toscanini School - Brooklyn, NY
David Mittelman, Computer Teacher and Technical Coordinator, writes: I am planning to establish a laptop loaner program for fifth grade students without access to computers at home. Students without computer resources at home are at a disadvantage.
The New York City School system has an ambitious technology program in place for students to use computers in the school. There is no city program to allow laptop loans to these students in the elementary school. I would like to have such a program for our disadvantaged fifth graders.
I would like to have 1-10 Laptops - HP , Dell Sony, Toshiba or any manufacturer in good working order - seeking Pentium laptops with 1.6 Ghz processors or better.
If you can help, please e-mail Mr. Mittelman, or call (718) 645-2862. The school is located at 350 Avenue X in Brooklyn, New York.
