Steele grad needs your help in Ukraine

Five thou­sand miles away, Rachael Logs­don is work­ing to make con­di­tions bet­ter for the impov­er­ished chil­dren of Ukraine.

A 2006 grad­u­ate of Steele High School, she teaches Eng­lish in a small vil­lage school as a mem­ber of the Peace Corps.

Rachael Logs­don poses with her young Ukrain­ian students.

She is ask­ing her home­town for help buy­ing tech­nol­ogy for her class­room. It will be used to pre­pare stu­dents for col­lege and tech­ni­cal school.

Logs­don is look­ing for about $2,400 to buy an inter­ac­tive white­board, pro­jec­tor, lap­top, Web cam­era, and video cam­era for her students.
