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

The program I manage is unique in that many of my students have to remain in my classroom for the entire day. They are not allowed to transition out, and consequently, they often complain about headaches and being irritated by the bright fluorescent lights that loom overhead.

Light covers can help increase focus, boost productivity, reduce migraines and lower the stress level of my students.

Many of my students have a ASD diagnosis and I am always looking for solutions for my babies to thrive. These covers will also help them by providing them with a peaceful atmosphere.

It is the little things that make a difference in a classroom.My students work so hard to do their very best and I hope to continue to encourage their efforts!

Ms. Boyd W.H. Adamson High School Grades 9-12
