Wilmot Elementary School fifth-graders were excited Thursday to receive district Chromebooks that they will be able to use in every class and take home.

Wilmot is the only foothills area school to be in phase 1 of Jeffco Public Schools’ rollout of the 1:1 Chromebooks initiative that will provide technology to all students in fifth through 12th grades in the next four years.
