Students at Lincoln Elementary School have received new Chromebooks to help with their education. Sparklight, a leading broadband communications provider, has a program called Sparklight’s Chromebook for Kids and it is an initiative designed to improve student access to technology in Title 1 Schools. General Manager Kenny Wright says that having accessible technology in the classroom is very important.

Wright says it was very rewarding to see the students with these laptops.

Lincoln Elementary School Principal Kelly Millburg says that the donation will serve as an additional academic tool that helps expand the curriculum in place and offers a new way for students to interact and engage with the lessons easier. 

Wright stressed that the laptops supplied classrooms that didn’t have Chromebooks.

Over the past eight years, Sparklight has donated more than 2,000 Chromebooks to Title1 schools. For more information on Chromebooks for Kids, visit www.sparklight.com/about/social-responsibility.
