  • Louisiana Renaissance Festival Field Trip

    Funded Oct 3, 2018

    Thank you so much for donating to our field trip. We finally went today, November 15th! The cold temperatures and muddy ground did not stop us. My students had such an amazing time. They were able to see what life was like during the Renaissance era!

    Some students rode horses, watched a jousting match, watched a glassblowing simulation, and ate huge turkey legs. Your donations allowed my students to attend this festival which they would not be possible on their own.

    All the students on campus were envious when we returned back to school. Also, my students all fell asleep on the bus back so I know they had an amazing time.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Russo

  • Classroom Lights Project

    Funded Aug 13, 2018

    Thank you so much for funding my project. It has provided me with the extra lights and light covers for my classroom for this school year. The lighting has improved. The light covers have a huge impact on blocking the strength of the florescent lights. Also, they had a super cute blue touch to the ceiling.

    The string lights have made my classroom look so much more home-y. The students are constantly telling me how cute or how much they enjoy the new lighting. Some students even say its too much!

    The project allowed me to follow the new rigid guidelines put in place about classroom lighting. But, most importantly, allowed me to have a welcoming, comfortable classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Russo

Due to ever changing restrictions, lights must be kept on during all class periods. Class periods are 98 minutes long. This is an extremely long time for teenagers. I am choosing these light covers and patio lights because research shows that reducing the number of fluorescent lights in the classroom has shown to reduce behavioral issues. Also, these bright lights in the classrooms cause students to strain and cause headaches. I want my classroom to always feel welcoming and comfortable for the wide variety of children I serve. These covers will benefit more than one would think. It will provide a relaxing and calm atmosphere for them every day.
