English Learner students at Westerville Central in need of old magazines
Please consider donating your old magazines to Westerville Central! This is one of the many ways that teachers help students learning English as a second-language advance their knowledge and skills. Students cut out letters and words from magazines as a hands-on way to learn the language.
Items can be dropped off at our regular drop off locations or Westerville Central High School.

Help Westerville Students Succeed: Devices Needed
We’re reaching out for local students who currently do not have access to a computer or reliable way to complete digital assignments at home. As so much of today’s learning depends on online platforms, this lack of access is making it difficult for them to keep up with schoolwork and fully engage in their education. These students are motivated and want to succeed- they just need the tools to do so. Your support can directly impact their ability to learn, grow, and stay on track academically. We’re hoping to find 7 donated laptops or Chromebooks to help bridge this gap and make a meaningful difference. Monetary donations can also be to help purchase devices.
