My Project

Hello! We are asking for lighting to go under the cupboards around our classroom. Our overhead lights are bright and wonderful for most our needs, however, there are times we need more lighting options. For instance, when we are using our SmartBoard the overhead lights are too bright and have to be turned off. This is a problem because it means we do not have enough light to see our work at our desks. There are also times we want to relax the atmosphere so we can enjoy when a novel is being read aloud to us.
