Local Boston Business Whickit.com to Benefit Braintree East Middle School’s Technology Initiative

Braintree, MA, October 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Whickit.com, a Boston internet marketing business, is committed to support the technology initiative in Braintree East Middle School. For each Braintree business that partners with Whickit and offers a deal to consumers through Whickit.com, Whickit will donate 10% of their sales profit to benefit East Middle School for the entire 2011-2012 school year.

In this tough economy, technology funding for schools has become scarce. Many schools lack the funding to integrate technology into their curriculum. As an internet marketing business, Whickit relies heavily on technology and believes that technology is important and should be an integral part of school education.

Whickit is excited to support the East Middle School. “We want to help improve technology in classrooms, providing cutting-edge technological resources and educations for students in East,” said Whickit Founder Salina Tam, whose son goes to Braintree East Middle School.

“East Middle School is pleased to partner with Whickit in an effort to benefit students, teachers and the entire Braintree community. Whickit’s donation will go toward the purchase of technology at East,” said John Sheehan, Principal of Braintree East Middle School.

Whickit believes that integrating technology into the classroom will enhance the students’ learning experience. “Students who find learning interesting, dynamic, and diverse tend to perform better in school,” said Tam. “More importantly, students that have access to technology will have a competitive edge.”

“One of our goals at East is to provide students with the tools they need to be successful in an increasingly competitive world,” said Mr. Sheehan. “We are pleased that Whickit is committed to helping East students access a 21st century education.”
