World Language Academy fourth-grader Ashley Cook, center, joins fellow student council members Ava Migliore, left, and Isobel McCain in testing out new Kindle Fire Kids Edition tablets Thursday morning following a short meeting with Amazon reps. Forty-five tablets were donated to the school's fourth-grade classes, each with access to the Amazon App Store and book store.
When World Language Academy Co-Principal Brittney Bennett got an email about a local business possibly donating some supplies, she didn't know who, what or when. The business turned out to be Braselton’s Amazon distribution center, and the supplies were 45 free Kindle Fire Kids Edition tablets given as a surprise to fourth-grade classes Thursday morning. The elementary school is the only school in Hall County that has received the gift at this point.
