Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

To help our new classroom feel welcoming and more like a second home, we need LED lights, lamps, lightbulbs, and hanging lights.

The right lighting can completely transform a space, making it feel warm, cozy, and inviting rather than cold and sterile.

LED lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting, making them a smart and sustainable choice for our classroom. Lamps and hanging lights can add a personal and decorative touch that makes the space feel special. With better lighting, students will feel more comfortable, relaxed, and ready to learn in a calm and cheerful environment every day.
