My Project

Students in my classroom love to learn while the lights are turned down low, primarily to reduce stress and anxiety. In addition, the glare and humming of the fluorescent lighting distract students from the best learning environment possible.

Providing students with fluorescent light covers reduces stress, anxiety, and headaches associated with the fluorescent lighting we have in the classroom throughout the day.

We’d love your help in dimming the lights to spotlight our learning in the classroom! Students are excited to be experts each and every day! The magnetic light covers would help us to showcase our learning in a comfortable classroom environment!
