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

Our project aims to transform our classroom into a vibrant and welcoming space through the addition of new warm lighting. This upgrade will create an atmosphere conducive to learning, fostering comfort and focus among our students. The soft, inviting glow lights will enhance their overall experience, promoting relaxation and engagement during lessons and activities. Our goal is to cultivate a nurturing environment where every student feels valued and supported in their academic journey. With new library ceiling lights and classroom standing lights we hope students can thrive in their new cozy classroom. Goodbye! to fluorescent lighting.
