| Computer Equipment Needs: | |
| Cardinal McCloskey operates a school for grades 4th - 12th and a daycare for ages 18 months through Kindergarten. In addition, we operate 2 group homes for sexually abused teen girls and Westchester's only "safe house shelter" for abused adolescents. We need computers for all of these programs to aid with educational needs. Specifically: Pentium III PCs or Laptops with reasonable memory capacity to run educational and word processing software. Some would be used to coordinate with a small existing computer lab at the school. Currently we have 8 computers in the high school lab and need 4 in the elementary lab and another 4 in the high school lab. These students require customized special education curriculums that can be designed using on-line educational subscriptions. In the group homes & shelter, computers would be used to complete homework assignments and could be equipped with child-protected internet access to link to the Westchester Library System through the White Plains Library's Resource Desk. |
