Don’t Let Their “LIGHTS” Go Out!

Help me give my students a button making machine and supplies to create awareness for their community service project.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Weaver's classroom raised $638

My Project

We are asking for help to get a button making machine to help us promote awareness for our community research project. We are working on a citizen science project to help restore the lightening bug population in our community. Lightening bugs are sensitive to artificial lighting from solar lighting and other night time lighting.

Light pollution is a concern we want to tackle through awareness, and being able to pass out student created buttons will get our outreach started!

We want to make a difference and leave a legacy for the future.
