  • Calming Light

    Funded May 3, 2023

    A HUGE thank you to everyone who so generously contributed to this project. We can't wait to light up this room and benefit from the calming tone. This will help so much when my kids need a space to decompress and regroup, setting them up for success throughout the school day. So thank you again!!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. O'Dea

  • Maps and Lights to Help Find our Path!

    Funded Apr 23, 2018

    Thank you so much for your generous contributions. They were so happy when the items got delivered. My kiddos love the new lighting in the classroom. No more harsh fluorescent lighting. They said it gives a much more mellow feel so they're able focus more on their classwork. The maps have been real helpful too. They are able to reference them whenever we talk about places in the country and world that they're not familiar with. And they love how big they are. It puts everything into perspective. We couldn't be happier so thanks again for helping out.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. O'Dea

These items will help support my students visually. Harsh fluorescent lighting can make reading and classwork challenging. Creating a calm peaceful environment has a positive effect on student performance. It also helps to reduce anxiety which can be heightened when learning new material or when taking tests. Covering the lights will help with this. The large maps will also help so that my students have a large visual representation of the places we read and study about. Students will be able to easily use the maps as a reference when discussing different topics and global issues from around the world.
