In the art room we collect dust and residue from all types of sources! Materials like chalk, pencils, clay, ink, oil paint, aerosols and charcoal leave residue behind all throughout the year. Our ventilation systems at the school can't keep up with the dust and don't receive proper cleaning. I ask that you help us clean our air with this Dyson Air Purifier so my students can breath, relax and create during their time in the art room. The relaxed brain works BETTER! According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the Center for Environmental Health Perspectives and new Brain Based Learning research, classrooms that have improved atmospheric factors like lighting and higher air quality improve relaxation, concentration, focus and decision making. In my room I currently utilize techniques such as warm lighting, soft music and essential oil diffusers. I am now in need of one more major element- clean, fresh AIR! Please help us make this happen :)
