BUCKHANNON Students at the Stockert Youth and Community Center now have the ability to learn from tutors even when they’re not at the facility, thanks to a major donation this week.
On Tuesday, Suddenlink presented a donation of $12,500 worth of iPads to the center in Buckhannon. The donation will increase access to virtual learning opportunities, connectivity and online curriculum for students, officials said.
The Stockert Youth and Community Center provides tutoring, after-school activities, recreation and sports classes and leagues, and summer camps for youth and adults in Buckhannon and Upshur County.
The iPads will be used on remote learning days and in after-school programs for students. Suddenlink also provides complimentary internet service for the center.
