Last week Steve Robinson was checking on the Shoreline Isolation and Recovery Center when he saw that there were stations at the Shoreline Center on 1st Ave NE to distribute laptops to students.

Now that the rest of the school year will take place online, school districts are working to get curricula online and to make sure that students have the laptops they need for learning.

It wasn't very busy when Steve went by but they were prepared to maintain Physical Distanting.

Families who needed laptops for their children submitted requests, then drove to pick them up last Wednesday.

Families needing food were able to pick up a bag of food at the same time. Parkwood Elementary at 155th and Meridian had both as well as a line of cars.

The laptops are ChromeBooks, student edition, with hard cases.
