My Project

I love to see my students feel calm and comfortable in my classroom. These light covers will bring calming energy. They will get to see the fluffy clouds even on rainy days. Research shows that fluorescent lights can trigger health complaints in sensitive people, including headaches, eye strain, and fatigue.

I want my students to be successful and feel like my classroom is a second home.

I have high expectations for all my students and want them to succeed. I do not want eye strain or fatigue from fluorescent lights to hinder their learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
