To
address
the
needs
of
the
School
Division
during
COVID-19,
Amazon
Web
Services
(AWS)
has
donated
a
total
of
$68,800
to
SPARK,
the
education
foundation
for
Prince
William
County
Public
Schools
(PWCS).
From
the
$68,800
donation,
$48,000
will
support
Wi-Fi
parking
lots
for
eight
schools.
Students
and
families
will
be
able
to
utilize
the
Wi-Fi
services
for
instruction
and
internet
support
they
may
not
have
at
home.
An
additional
$20,800

was
made
to
support
the
grocery
kit
program
and
the
efforts
of
the

currently
supports
the
Think

Space,
a
science,

at

School.
The
Think

in
the
country.
