Shades So We Can See

Help me give my students fire retardant curtains to block out the windows so they can see the white board better!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. B.'s classroom raised $484

My Project

My class is in dire need for fire retardant curtains to block out the sun, so that my students can see the whiteboard. Our classroom is mainly windows. Most of the windows have blinds that I can pull up or leave down. The view outside is amazing. We can actually see San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge on a clear day!

I'm asking for donations for fire retardant curtains, so that my students get the best view inside of the class of the whiteboard!

Four highest windows are directly in front of the whiteboard and get the most sunshine during the day. The rays makes it hard for my students to see the board. I would like to cover them and got approval from the fire inspector. He said, as long as they are fire retardant we can! Please help us cover our windows safely.
