Computers Needed
Sydney's School for Autism would like to updated their computers in the classrooms.  Many of the computers are old and do not support today's technology.  We would also like to add additional computers for the children.  If you or your company are updating your computers please consider donating them to Sydney's School.  All donations are tax deductable.
Please contact the office to donate your computers.
