Let There Be Light: Helping Plants (and Students) Grow!
Help me give my students an opportunity to support classroom plants and student-led seed propagation using a compact, flexible indoor grow light system with humidity support, soil monitoring, and regional-themed planting.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chavez's classroom raised $241
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
In our classroom, plants do more than decorate, they teach responsibility, observation, and joy. With the addition of full-spectrum Barrina 2ft T8 Grow Lights, we can support both our classroom tropical plants and student-grown seedlings throughout the year, even during dark winter months.
The included gravel help our tropical plants like Monstera and Pothos thrive in a dry indoor climate.
These tools also provide students with hands-on opportunities to explore the science of plant care and growing conditions, from light intensity to soil moisture and humidity.
Your support brings light, literally, to our growing classroom!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
