Xerox Corporation
has been kind enough to donate two State-of-the-Art Copier Scanner Printers to
"THE SPACESHIP DISCOVERY"
Science and Technology Center
The combined cost of each copier and computer is 
$75,000  and shows their committment to 
EDUCATION IN AMERICA

The Xerox corporation has granted us one of their top of the line full color laser copiers.  It is a Xerox Countess and facilitates the learning process through the use of color in our presentations and worksheets.  Xerox has also been extremely helpful in the technical support areas involving the Ethernet network we have connecting the computers throughout the classroom. This allows us to print from any system directly to the copier. Along with the copier itself, Xerox also donates all the toner that we need to continue using the copier free of charge
