Lucas Western donates computers to TMMS Editor's note: Christopher Phillips is a seventh grader at Treasure Mountain Middle School. by CHRISTOPHER PHILLIPS Record guest writer Treasure Mountain Middle School is getting a new computer lab for Christmas. Acting as Santa Claus, the Lucas Western Company donated 20 Macintosh computers. People all over the school are excited about the new computer lab.

"This computer lab brings us one step closer to our technology goals," said Duncan Orr, a computer com-puter lab teacher. WintzerCrippen Construction will be helping TMMS get some counter space built for the new lab. Some temporary tables have already been set up so that the computers can be put to work in the new room as soon as possible. "I can't wait until we have the new lab! " said Susan Graves, a sixth grade teacher. "One of the reasons rea-sons why is because we're on a three-times-per-month rotation for use of the computers, which really real-ly messes up finished products."
