As many US schools scramble to find enough technology to meet student needs, Mokena-based Technology Managed Services firm Wynndalco Enterprises, LLC, donated 50 laptops and two mobile LAN carts on August 28 to Bensenville’s Fenton Community High School. The feeling was celebratory, with Fenton Superintendent James Ongtengco, Principal Jovan Lazarevic, and School Board President Paul Wedemann in attendance alongside various DuPage County officials, including Chairman of the Board Dan Cronin, Board Members Greg Hart and Donald Puchalski, and Choose DuPage CEO and Board Director Greg Bedalov and Dr. Darlene Ruscitti, respectively. Rounding out the reception were Wynndalco founder and CEO David Andalcio, President and COO Jose Flores, and Senior Project Manager Eva Andalcio. The technology package included premium Dell Latitude 3160 Pentium Touchscreens that had been preconfigured to support Fenton’s current hybrid onsite/remote learning efforts.
“We are thrilled to have been able to support Fenton in this manner, because Wynndalco has deep roots in the public school community in Illinois and across the United States,” says David Andalcio. “Probably better than most, Wynndalco Enterprises understands what a challenge it’s been to pivot to distance learning and ensure the technology necessary for students to succeed is not only available but up to the task in terms of hardware and software capabilities. And as Fenton serves 1,500 diverse students in terms of ethnic and financial backgrounds, we are grateful for the opportunity to give back to such a great, wide-reaching local school.”
Technology to Further Education
For decades, Andalcio has been involved in procuring and setting up needed computer technology for students at myriad school systems in and around Chicago, New York, Dallas, Denver, Puerto Rico and elsewhere, as well as helping gain the most robust internet connectivity possible for students to learn well at school and at home. Further, Andalcio and his team believe all children should have equal access and opportunity to the many benefits technology can provide.
“We believe our work is truly essential, as Wynndalco has deployed close to 50,000 devices to nearly 500 locations since the pandemic began,” Flores adds. “We feel honored to partner with those on the front lines of education to help keep the learning going in this historic time at our schools.”
