My Project

As my classroom transitions to a new space, there are essential items I unfortunately can’t take with me. Our classroom urgently needs low lighting to create a safe, engaging, and effective learning environment. Adequate low lighting options is essential for students success. It improves concentration, reduces eye strain, and helps foster a positive, welcoming space for learning. With your support, we can brighten our classroom and ensure every student has the light they need to thrive. Your support will ensure our new learning space is just as equipped as my last.
