Senator Clinton Facilitates Donation of 15 Computers to Canajoharie Schools

New York, NY – Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today announced the donation of 15 computers to schools in Canajoharie, NY in an effort to help the flood-stricken community rebuild and recover. The computers, five of which will go to the East Hill School, Canajoharie Middle School and Canajoharie High School were made available by Senator Clinton through the United States Senate Computers for Learning program and were shipped out of Washington, DC late last week.

“The floods earlier this year took a terrible toll on everyone in Canajoharie, impacting many students and their families. I am very pleased that we could secure these computers to help the students and their teachers who have faced so much in the past few months. Now more than ever it is essential that we give students the right tools to learn and achieve in a global market, and I hope these computers will help the students compete in this technology-rich age,” Senator Clinton said.

“The Canajoharie Central School District works hard to prepare our students for the global marketplace. We believe that this donation makes Senator Clinton a partner in that task. She, more than most people, understands that the competition our students will face in the future will demand that they display competitive strength in understanding and utilizing technology. Computers are important tools for our teachers and students to use to gain that technological advantage,” said Dr. Donald L. Bowden, Principal of Canajoharie High School.

The United States Senate’s Computers for Learning (CFL) Program helps public schools take advantage of the information technology age by channeling surplus computers into classrooms across the country. Computers for Learning places computers in our classrooms and prepares our children to contribute and compete in the 21st century. CFL connects the registered needs of schools and educational nonprofit organizations with computer equipment made available free of charge from government agencies and the private sector.
