My Project

Our classroom is a converted space in our building. Our overhead lights are overly bright and make using our space difficult sometimes. We are want to dim the lights for our students to ease the brightness, reduce the glare on whiteboard and screens, and provide an outdoor view for classrooms with no windows.

Our converted space needs help with lighting and positive outlooks.

Our one room has no windows and is often a dreary place to work in - our large space is overly bright as it was an office and is now a classroom. We love our dual spaces, but can't control the lightening which is causes glares and distress from both our students and staff. Help us put these light covers up to reduce the light and at the same time provide a look into nature for our students. We've seen a positive change with the few covers we've put up, help us finish covering the rest to encourage our students to focus on the learning, and less about how bright the room is each day.

As our student do well, they earn rewards for meeting their goals. Help us give them stickers - they are nuts about stickers - to help keep them motivated to meet their improvement goals!
