Hey Allenby Families, do you have some old devices kickin’ around the house, taking up valuable space in your ‘everything’ drawer? Well, let us help you!
We are looking for donations of preloved devices to bring to life a batch of Virtual Reality cardboard viewers, following our amazing day with Google Expeditions.
If you have a working, unlocked android phone, iPhone or iPod touch (with at least a 5″ screen and power cable) that is looking for a new home and a new life, please consider donating it to Allenby. With your help, our students will be able to access remarkable views of our world, and will be immersed in learning that can only be described as “WOW”!!!
To donate, please send your preloved device (with power cord) to the Allenby office in an envelope marked:
ALLENBY VR DONATION
YOUR NAME
CHILD’S NAME AND RM #
Have you been upgrading your home office devices? Please contact the office if you have a Laser colour printer you would like to donate to the school. Our Kindergarten team is often looking to print visuals, student pictures and work samples in colour. Colour printing also assists teachers when creating visual schedules for many of our students with special needs.
Did you receive a new pair of headphones on the holidays and have an old pair gathering dust. We are always looking for headphones for students to use when using technology in the library and classroom. Many of our students access assistive technology when using a computer that will read the text aloud to them, headphones allow many students to access this technology at one time. If you have any headphones you are willing to donate please drop them off to the office with your name.
On behalf of Allenby staff and students, we THANK YOU for your generosity and support.
Megan McGee, Grade 5 Teacher and STEM POR
