BACK TO SCHOOL BOOST 2024: Friends of Amundsen’s 7th annual back-to-school fundraising campaign supporting an important Amundsen initiative

CAMPAIGN FOR CHROMEBOOKS
Chromebooks are the laptop computers our students use daily in the classroom as an integral part of academic learning. Amundsen classes rely on Chromebooks for a wide range of student activities including research projects, presentations, website design, classroom surveys, group project collaboration and much more. Unfortunately, Amundsen’s current Chromebook inventory is too small, outdated and in disrepair, and our students are suffering for it.

With your help, this year’s Back to School Boost will provide much-needed new Chromebooks and Chromebook charging carts so our students have ample access to up-to-date classroom computer technology. The more money we raise as part of this campaign, the more new Chromebooks we can put in the hands of Amundsen students. 
 

OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL IS $50,000
$50,000 will purchase three Chromebook charging carts each stocked with 30 Chromebooks (a total of 90 Chromebooks). Here is the cost breakdown for one full Chromebook cart:

  • Each Chromebook laptop is $420. 
  • Each Chromebook charging cart is $3,613.
  • One full Chromebook cart is $16,213. 
  • Three full Chromebooks carts cost almost $49,000.

(Note: Three Chromebook carts will not meet Amundsen’s full need for updated Chromebooks. The school will prioritize deploying new devices to the classrooms with the greatest technological needs.)

Thank you for your support!
