Light It Up!

Help me give my students alternative lighting options. We all know that LED lighting is better than traditional classroom options.

My Project

My students and I need alternative lighting options. We have minimal natural lighting that comes into our classroom and the only lighting in the room are the traditional fluorescent bulbs that flicker and are known to be poor options for vision and focus.

My students deserve up to date classroom lighting and right now the only way to achieve this is through projects like this one with the support of amazing donors!

One day, I hope that school districts will update the lighting sources in the classroom, but until that time arrives, teachers like me must make it happen!
