Earlier in October, Cox Communications partnered with the Larry Fitzgerald Foundation and Phoenix Raceway Charities for “Beyond the Finish Line,” a STEM event benefiting eighth-grade students from Luke Elementary School in Glendale.
The event, at Phoenix Raceway, introduced students to practical applications of science, technology, engineering and math that power the sport. Each of the eighth graders received a laptop, courtesy of Cox and got to meet Larry Fitzgerald.
“These laptops will change these students' lives in such a positive way both personally
and academically. Many of them don’t have a computer at home and have to finish their
assignments at school. Having their own laptop to use will empower students beyond
the eighth grade giving them the tools and opportunity to excel in high-school, college
and beyond,” stated Stevie McKinnis, seventh and eighth grade English teacher at Luke Elementary School.
Luke Elementary School is the only Dysart Unified School district campus in Glendale.
