Peoria
Robert earned a place in Grade 9 at the Peoria Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $950, which is more than they have. Robert loves biology and wants to become a doctor. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $950 goes: • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $65 • Laptop: $650 • School uniform and shoes: $235 Thank you so much.
