RGE & The Shore Foundation Team Up To Provide Laptops For Students Who Needed Them Most
Written by Site Hub on March 2, 2021
The pandemic has really shown how much not having access to digital technology can impact a student’s ability to learn properly during a crisis.
Rochester Gas & Electric saw an opportunity to improve the learning potential of students at Nativity Preparatory Academy by donating around $2500 to the Shore Foundation – enabling them to donate around 50 refurbished laptops to the students who needed them most.
James Smith, the President at Nativity Preparatory Academy in Rochester, gave a statement regarding the generosity and how it helped:
Think about it from this perspective – it’s been almost a year with the pandemic and some of the challenges facing our community, and Nativity is right here in Rochester serving some dynamic families working through challenges economically, socially – you name it – and these devices, almost two devices per family not only allows our students, who now have a device at home with the device they will now have at school for one-to-one but the families themselves have the device.”
