"Yes, we did receive the computers. We are using them for our High School Computer Competition (HSCC) students. Right now we have borrowed software for the operating systems from Monsanto. We hope to get donation of software licenses from Microsoft to donate us the software," said BDPA St. Louis chapter president Toni Love.

The mission of Discovering Your Potential is to serve as a resource for educators and parents who seek to improve academic skills for at risk children by offering an after school program focused on math and reading.

This is great news for BDPA St. Louis chapter. The chapter is also working hard to raise college scholarship funding for their HSCC students.

Letter of Inquiry * Discovering Your Potential (BDPA St. Louis)

BDPA St. Louis chapter worked with a community organization, Discovering Your Potential, to seek a hardware donation of 20 laptop computers. The mission of Discovering Your Potential is to serve as a resource for educators and parents who seek to improve academic skills for at risk children by offering an after school program focused on math and reading within the middle schools. The primary goal is to provide the necessary skills to close the achievement gap for students who are not meeting the state standards.

BDPA Education and Technology Foundation (BETF) is working with BDPA St. Louis chapter on this computer hardware request. We should have an answer within the next few weeks.
