Do you work at: GOOGLE? SAMSUNG? DELL? ACER? ASUS? HP? TOSHIBA? LOGITECH?
This year, the PTO will purchase many new Chromebooks for Weibel classrooms.
We are looking for contacts at these companies who make Chromebooks to see what options the PTO has in getting donations or deep discounts from these companies. The PTO also needs to get new wireless keyboards and mice for the computer lab, hence, LOGITECH :-)
Please email tech@weibelpto.org if you can introduce us to people responsible for educational program purchases and/or donations at these companies. We'd like to get them on campus before the new year.
