Cerro, a wire and cable manufacturer in Crothers-ville, donated 10 i-Pad Minis to Crothersville elementary school last week. According to local elementary principal Chris Marshall the hand held small computers will be used by third graders in their reading program.
“This will help out with our e-readers,” said Marshall noting that the school is moving away from hardbound text books into the realm of high tech electronic readers
The local school, with one of the smallest enrollments in the state, is a leader in technology in the classroom.
This is the third consecutive year Cerro has contributed i-Pads to the elementary school.
“We like doing things for kids that help with their education,” said Pam Colwell, Human Resources Director at Cerro.
