Technology Update

St.Saviour is pleased to report an incredibly generous hardware donation from St. Josephs College. This past March, St. Saviour received 85 IBM desktop machines, enough to replace every computer in the school and then some! We also received a laptop
cart, 27 IBM ThinkPad laptops, several laser printers, and other ancillary hardware. We're thrilled to be on the receiving end of such generosity. The machines represented an important step in improving our hardware infrastructure and we look forward to the many advantages this will provide our program.

Over the last several months, our technology department along with the senior computer class has been cataloging the inventory, organizing the roll out, cleaning machines, backing up profiles, ghosting machines, and replacing the old hardware with the new IBM's. It's been a lot of work and quite an experience for our seniors who got some real hands on practice.

In keeping with the nature of St. Saviour and our dedication to conservation, we looked to find the best way to repay our good fortune. We've started our own Community Outreach, where we rehab older machines and donate them to members of our St. Saviour community that are in need. We found another home for some of our computers at The Childrens Storefront school in Harlem. Partnering with Technology Director Mr. Steve Bergen, to date we have donated 23 desktops, 10 monitors and other assorted hardware for their community Outreach program to enable under privileged families have a computer.
