Click to Begin presented five recent graduates from several Bridgeport, CT high schools with brand new laptop computers today as part of its inaugural "Click to Succeed" program. The college-bound students are the first group of students being given computers from Click to Begin. Laptop recipients were asked to complete an application and were chosen based on academic merit, activities and their responses to two essay questions about technology and how it will play a role in their lives down the road. The laptops were donated in the memory of Ana Aponte, who dedicated much of her life to enriching the lives of many children in Bridgeport.
Click to Begin has partnered with Action for Bridgeport Community Development (ABCD, Inc.) to supply five laptops to top graduating high school seniors in Bridgeport, CT. The program, "Click to Succeed", is an award program that will supply qualifying college-bound high school seniors, with laptops to aid them on the road to success. Click to Begin is currently reviewing award applications and will announce the five selected recipients during the week of June 2nd. The laptops will be awarded to the students during the final ABCD board meeting of the year on June 25, 2008 at 4pm. All laptops will be donated in memory of Ana Aponte, a huge contributor to the growth of both ABCD, Inc. and the Bridgeport, CT education system.
