Mrs. S.'s Calm and Healthy Classroom

My Project

My students are incredibly kind learners and leaders. Our class comfort, lighting, and air quality are impacting learning in our classroom in a negative way. Students and I are experiencing eye strain and headaches due to the harsh fluorescent lighting and poor air quality.

Your donation could help!

The lamp and light covers will provide research-proven lighting to improve student learning. The couch and air purifier will help my students to breathe and feel better and be able to learn in an environment that is calming and healthy!
