Students, as well as parents and faculty at Highland-Goffe’s Falls School in Manchester, New Hampshire, assisted in fundraisers to buy 34 iBooks, according to an article in the Union Leader newspaper. The school’s fundraising efforts—which began in March 2002—have included cookie dough sales, rope jumping and donations from local businesses. Once the school PTA donated US$10,000, Highland-Goffe Falls had $25,335 in the bank, enough for 24 iBooks and a wireless mobile computer lab, the Union Leader reports. Plus, the Manchester School District contributed another 10 iBooks.
