When the new Sunset Palms Elementary School, 8650 Boynton Beach Blvd., opened in August in West Boynton, the school could only afford funding for three computers in each classroom.
Now that GL Homes has donated $5,000 to the school it can afford to have four computers in each class.
Principal Karen Riddle said the school would purchase five Dell computers with the money from GL Homes. She said the dedication GL Homes showed should only inspire others to do the same for their community.
Kevin Ratterree, vice president of GL Homes, said with the growth of West Boynton, Sunset Palms would play a large role in educating the future there.
The donation of $5,000 to the elementary school is another example of GL Homes' commitment to its surrounding community, said Barbara Katz, president of the Coalition of Boynton West Residential Association.
The school is located near the Canyon Springs neighborhoods that GL Homes is developing in West Boynton.
