Cajon Valley held two districtwide events to assist families in purchasing low cost technology and Internet service. Lexington Elementary and Naranca Elementary hosted Computers to San Diego Kids events on October 13, 2016 and October 19, 2016.

During the events Cajon Valley families were able to purchase refurbished netbooks for $100 or refurbished desktop computers for $80 from a nonprofit organization called, Computers to San Diego Kids. Families of Cajon Valley accessed 148 Lenovo Notebooks and Desktop Computers through the Computers to San Diego Kids event. 

What good is a computer without Internet these days? Cox cable also joined the event with their program Connect to Compete a program providing Internet service for $9.95 per month. Over 200 families were able to qualify for this service and walked away from the events with a service appointment for Internet connection at their home. 

Families who qualify for free or reduced lunch can inquire about purchasing refurbished computers with Computers to San Diego Kids by calling (858) 200-9787. For the Cox Connect to Compete reduced Internet service families may qualify if they are not current customers with Cox, do not have outstanding bills with Cox and qualify for free or reduced lunch.
