Faith Lutheran School of Plano today announced the result of the school's recent online fundraising auction, an event which took place to raise funds for technology improvements at the school. The online auction raised more than $6,500.00.

"The event was a great success, and the generous support of the community and our school families has allowed us to begin much-anticipated technology upgrades at the school," said Faith Lutheran School Headmaster Timothy Merritt of Plano.

The school's recent online auction featured a variety of items up for bids, including class projects crafted by students at the school such as hand-painted umbrellas, custom glass mosaic trivets, unique photography art pieces, a hand painted child's chair and more. Other items up for bids included an NFL-player autographed football, an American Girl school desk, a raised garden bed kit complete with plants, a bundle of fiction and non-fiction books and school supplies and much more.

Many technology enhancements are planned for the school, and the improvements will be rolled out in phases.  New computers will be installed in the school's computer lab this summer and will be ready for use at the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year. These computers were funded in part by this year's auction proceeds.

Additional future, planned improvements include the addition of more computers, document cameras, "smart" white boards and other technology in the school's classrooms and computer lab.
