Verizon Partners with LRSD to Provide iPads and Data Plans
to Our Middle School Students
Verizon donated $5.4 million worth of iPads and data
plans to three LRSD middle schools, Cloverdale, Mabelvale and Mann. Above are
photos from Cloverdale’s launch showing students receiving instruction for
their equipment and a student flying a drone using his iPad. It was an exciting event and we thank Verizon
for their partnership with LRSD!
