Abney Elementary Technology Initiative Update

Abney Elementary teacher, Jodie Henson, is getting much closer to reaching the goal of raising $15,000 to purchase tablets, keyboards, cases, and stylus, “technology kits” for the students in her classroom thanks to donations from sponsors such as Depew Orthodontics. The purpose of this technology initiative is for the students in Mrs. Henson’s class to use technology on a daily basis to enhance daily classroom experiences. Through this initiative, Mrs. Henson hopes to teach the students typing and productivity skills which will prepare them for their future and engage them in learning today. By providing technology to each student, they may work collaboratively for ideas but will be able to create end products independently. We are the Abney Eagles and to recognize individual and businesses who have donated, a mural of an Eagle in a nest with eggs will be painted in our atrium. Golden eggs will identify donors who have contributed $500 or above (thus sponsoring a complete "technology kit" for a student). Several individuals, families, and local businesses have contributed so far, if you’d like to add your name to this amazing list of contributors who are helping make Paulding County School District history, please contact Jodie Henson at or mail a check to Abney Elementary School-1186 Colbert Rd.-Dallas, GA 301320.
