Smartboard + Engaged Learning = Learning beyond a textbook:

Learning becomes much more exciting and interesting when students are investigating real life problems, making discoveries or assuming a roll such as a newspaper reporter or city mayor. Utilizing webquests and Smartboards in the classrooms enhance student learning greatly!  Click on the link to the left for an inside view of such dynamic learning.

Dell TechKnow The Dell TechKnow program was started school year 2005 through Mrs. Hussain's and Mr. Solomon's initiative.  This after-school program is offered three times a year with up to 15 students participating each time.  Students learn how to repair Dell computers and are given the computer for home use at the end of the program.  Please follow the link for more information.
