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

The overhead lights in the room are so harsh and bright. Students often complain of headaches.

The addition of the new lights will help create a better atmosphere in the room where students are not straining their eyes or blinded by how bright the overhead lights are.

I am hopeful that with the new lights, they will be bright enough to supplement the overheads. Additionally, the whiteboard is getting very dirty and the spray will help keep it functional. The Glade plugins are just a necessity for every middle school classroom and the students will greatly appreciate them.
