Thank You CDE and the Donors of Laptops to Meadows School in El Centro! Students, Staff and Ms. Rodriquez are so thankful!
From Superintendent Rodriquez: "Today was our first day of school and I had to share this pic from last Saturday ). Thanks to your help in making this tech grant possible for our Meadows School we were able to become a one-to-one school!! We purchased backpacks for them and in there was their brand new Chromebook. This is our “little school that could” and our Board of Trustees, our teachers, our students and parents are very appreciative of this. Thank you so much for helping us kick off the year on a very high note in spite of all the unique situations we had to face being in a stay home order still. Hope you have a great year too!!
Thanks again and stay safe!" Mrs. R
