VVES Receives Donation For iPad, Projector

Kids in teacher Terri Billingsley’s kindergarten class at Virgin Valley Elementary School will have a chance to use some advanced learning tools thanks to a recent donation.


The Nevada Public Education Foundation and Wells Fargo Bank have provided funding for an audio visual system that includes an interactive whiteboard, an iPad, an LCD projector, and a projector cart.

“As you know, schools are increasingly in need of classroom materials due to a variety of factors that are dramatically affecting our economy,” Billingsley said in an e-mail announcing the donation. “While all of us are susceptible to hard times, children are at the most risk. In today’s harsh economic times the classroom may be the only stabilizing factor for some children. With the generous support of the Nevada Public Education Foundation and Wells Fargo Bank, we were able provide a classroom full of fun and interactive learning activities that children look forward to.”

The interactive lessons taught using the audio visual equipment provide students with lessons that engage them in math and technology activities.

“Thank you the Nevada Public Education Foundation and Wells Fargo Bank for caring about providing the funding for this wonderful kindergarten classroom addition,” Billingsley said. “The children love it and so do the staff.”
