Bubbling

Dear Mrs. Willis,

Congratulations! Based on the proposal submitted for the HP Technology for Teaching Grant earlier this year for the project titled Bringing Learning to Life: Using HP technology to promote active student learning and higher math achievement for Clear Creek-Amana (CCA) middle school students. HP is pleased to offer Clear Creek Amana Middle School the K-12 grant award! You were identified as the lead for the team of 5 teachers working on this grant, and we hope you will share this message with each of your team members.


I know that this doesn't mean much to many of you but I was absolutely THRILLED when I got this email last night. I was home by myself and was jumping frantically around. I have worked my tail off in Dec-Feb to finish this grant up with the help of a grant writer. It is a huge opportunity and will allow our kids some great opportunities!

Each of our math rooms gets:
HP Compaq Notebook/Tablet PC with Microsoft® Vista Business Tablet PC Edition with OneNote
• A digital projector
• An HP digital camera
• An HP Officejet printer, scanner, copier
• A $500 stipend
• Customized online professional development opportunities to support the use of technology in teaching and support from a mentor with experience integrating technology in the K–12 environment
• Free Software from Microsoft

YEAH CCA!!!!
