For the past two years, our administration has been working with other schools around the country to learn how technology can be used to aid classroom instruction. After exhaustive research and the completion of a parent/student survey, it was determined that the iPad was the best tool to promote interactive learning for our students.  The teachers (who have already received and been trained on their iPads) are excited to demonstrate a few of their selected apps during Open House on August 19th.   

Because of your generosity, we have been able to purchase 25 iPads, which helped complete the Social Studies, Mathematics,World Language and Science Departments.  We still need your support to purchase another 55 iPads for the teachers in the English, Fine Arts, Special Education and PE departments. 

All proceeds for this campaign will be immediately used to purchase iPads because the sooner our teachers receive their iPads, the sooner they will be able to join their Walton colleagues in the weekly training sessions offered by Apple, the Cobb County Educational Technologist and fellow teachers.

The WHSF will be having a grade-level "Mad for the iPad" contest to help support the "Say 'YES!' To An iPad In Every Classroom" campaign. If each homeroom has at least 20 students contribute to the campaign (by donating $30 to the iPad campaign and/or purchasing a Basic or Complete Family Sponsorship), then that classroom will raise enough money to purchase one iPad.  

With your support, not only will we reach our goal of supplying an iPad in every classroom, but we will also be earning access to corporate grants for education that are only available if we have 100% participation from the Walton community.
