This year, the FBLA club at the school (pictured above) is working to supply each of the 31 homes under construction by the Cumberland Valley Habitat for Humanity with a computer. So far, the club has collected enough money to fully fund four Dell Mini 10v netbooks at about $350 each, Acri said. “(People ask) what good is a computer going to do for them? The reality is they don’t have access to anything like that,” computer information systems teacher Chris Champion said. “We wanted to donate to make sure each of the houses had a computer,” FBLA president Amber Neal, 18, said. “I know having a computer helps.”
