Here is a bit of good news. We had a husband and wife in our community donate 60 lap top computers for our high school students, giving each of them one. When they graduate they pay $1 and will take the computer with them. As each freshman class comes in the Carson's will purchase them computers. I was so thankful for their thoughtfulness. They have leveled the playing field for all students no matter what their Socio-economic status.
