LCD Projector Program

Thompson Middle School students demonstrate the LCD projector donated by Dukane Corporation

In 2004, The Greater St. Charles Education Foundation announced a new program to equip all schools in District 303 with LCD projectors. The Foundation partnered with Dukane Corporation, a local St. Charles firm, to purchase the projectors. Dukane offered the Foundation a significant discount and also donated three promotional projectors to the District as well - the total value of Dukane's donation exceeded $9,800.

The Foundation awarded projectors to the 12 elementary schools in September 2004 and completed the final phase of this project by awarding projectors to the three middle schools and two high schools in April, 2005.

See below for more information about each of these grants.

Making good on a promise from last fall, the Greater St. Charles Education Foundation recently gave new LCD projectors to each of District 303’s three middle and two high schools.

The Education Foundation in September 2004 bought and gave similar projectors, valued at $2,000 each, to each of District 303’s elementary schools, and promised to do the same this spring for District 303’s three middle and two high schools.

The Dukane Corp. supplied the units at a specially-discounted price. All together the Foundation spent about $27,000 on the 17 projectors. Dukane also donated free of charge three promotional projectors valued at $1,000 each. These units were given to District 303’s three middle schools.
