Technology is playing a bigger and bigger role in education these days and Tyus Jones wants to make sure his former elementary school is ready to be successful.

When students at Westview Elementary in Apple Valley, MN, arrived at school on Monday, they were surprised to find a brand-new computer lab in one of the classrooms, and a hometown NBA player back in their halls. With assistance from Jones and a donation by TCL, the technology at Westview and all the opportunities that come with it received a serious boost. Most importantly, the kids were thrilled.

“That’s what you do it for is that moment right there where they’re excited,” said Jones.
