The McCook Educational Foundation has begun taking donations for the improvement of the technological equipment in the classrooms for the McCook Public Schools.  We would like to purchase four adjustable flat panel carts, four mimio Pad Overviews, four large TVs (52 inch) and a Class Pack of 24 QClick RF Classroom Response Systems. This would provide one system in each of the four McCook Schools. Cost for each system is $4,800; thus $19,200 is needed. If you are interested in donating, please send to the address at the end of this article.  Donations are tax deductible.
