This teacher needs your help!

Learning Environment At Its Finest!

Help me give my students lesser eye strain and a headache free environment with these fluorescent filter covers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Freitas's classroom raised $177

My Project

Installing these fluorescent filter covers in the classroom will be such a huge improvement from me taping butcher paper over the fluorescent lights. Several of my students get severe migraines and have to wear the brimmed hats to block out the fluorescent light.

Students will have the best classroom learning environment with these fluorescent light covers.

They will be able to focus longer and be able to read the material with much more ease than having the glaring light on their reading materials.

Also, the calming covers will also help reduce anxiety and keep a calm educational learning environment throughout our school day.

Thank you, Mrs. Freitas
