Hot Springs students get new computers

“It was a bit of a surprise,” said Hot Springs School Superintendent Dr. Mike Perry. “I received a call from the office of Senator Daines asking if our district could use a few new computers. I didn’t hesitate to accept the offer for our schools.”

The no-strings-attached offer came following a press release from Daines stating that the senator would be helping to facilitate five Montana schools in the acquiring up to date technology with a donation of five computers for each school through the U.S. Senate’s Computers for Schools Program. In addition to Hot Springs School District, recipients included Big Sandy Public Schools, Greenfield School, Hardin School Districts and Winnett Public School District.

“The students and faculty at Hot Springs Schools appreciate the computers we are receiving and would like Senator Daines to know that we appreciate his efforts in supporting public education,” Perry said.

Perry said the computers would be dispersed to specific classrooms needing a boost to keep up with the more updated classrooms in the district.
