When 2016 Corps Member, Abbe Petuchowski, recognized her students lack of access to technology and internet outside of her classroom, she knew she had to do something. Abbe pulled together her resources and secured laptops for her entire class at Liberty City Elementary School. The results were these smiling faces:

"Since many of my students do not have access to technology or the internet at home, my classroom is one of the few places they have the opportunity to use educational technology to expand their knowledge and increase their excitement about learning. Technology allows my students to stay engaged and personalize their own learning. Furthermore, this class set of Chrome books allows each student the opportunity to explore and analyze the world around them through technology. As a result, my students will learn the 21st century problem-solving skills and grow the confidence in their own abilities that they need for future success." -Abbe Petuchowski, TFA Miami-Dade Corps Member

Abbe's extraordinary commitment to her students comes just in time for the College Football Playoff Foundation's #ExtraYardWeek, a campaign that recognizes the incredible work of educators across the nation.
