Big Al's Peddle Power

The goal of Big Al's Peddle Power is to create special education awareness and raise money for iPads. I am a special education teacher and have seen first hand the power of an iPad in the hands of the student with special needs. This is especially true for kindergarten aged special education students because of the larger touch screen. There are apps to help with communication, writing, reading, math and many many other skills. Thank you for your support and check back for updates.

Story of the Week!

Donated Trike

My name is Alan Schwartz and I submitted a letter to the Desert Sun pleading for the return of my trike. I used the trike to pull a pedi-cab to raise money for students with special needs at Landau Elementary School in Cathedral City. Today I received a generous donation from Chuck Knight of Rancho Mirage. A fellow teacher, Michelle Patton told Chuck, her neighbor the story of my bike being stolen in November. Mrs. Patton’s son, Luke helped build the bike for Chuck and I am also grateful for his time and energy. I also received a mountain bike from a former student named Jasmin to pull the pedi-cab. The original trike was never returned but because of the generosity of Chuck, Michelle, Luke and Jasmin I am better prepared to pull my pedi-cab and raise money for iPads for students with special needs at Landau Elementary. I feel fortunate to live in a community with such generous, caring and thoughtful people.

Sincerely,

Alan Schwartz

Festival of Lights

Loads of fun tonight at the palm springs Festival of Lights parade. Enjoyed the elderly gentleman I gave a lift to the VFW and the other nice folks. My family and friends also enjoyed the ride.
