T-Mobile’s Project 10Million is a nationwide initiative launched in 2020 to help close the digital divide for K–12 students in underserved communities. Through this program, eligible families can receive a free mobile hotspot with high-speed internet, providing 200GB of data per year for five years. The program also offers options to purchase low-cost laptops or tablets, helping ensure students have the tools they need to succeed in online learning.

Eligibility is typically based on participation in programs such as the National School Lunch Program, SNAP, or Medicaid, making this a valuable support for many families. Access to reliable internet can play a critical role in student engagement, homework completion, and overall academic success.

We wanted to make you aware of this opportunity in case you’d like to share it with families, counselors, or support staff within your school. Please feel free to reach out if you would like additional information or resources to distribute. Thank you for all you do to support your students and school community.

All wheels are turning here in the gym with our Kindergarten and 1st grade students as part of our All Kids Bike program!

Since day one, we have seen tremendous growth, and the students are absolutely loving the experience. This has been such an incredible opportunity for our students to learn how to ride a bike during Physical Education class. Not only are they building skills, but they are also gaining confidence and having a blast along the way.

We want to sincerely thank all of our teachers and parents for your continued support, it truly makes a difference in the success of this program.

A very special thank you goes out once again to United Way of Knox County for their generous donation of bikes, helmets, and more for helping make this opportunity possible for the elementary schools of Knox County. We are incredibly grateful!

Mr. Dodrill
