The Future is BRIGHT in My Classroom!

Help me give my students some tools to be successful in the classroom. The fluorescent lights can be extremely bothersome to the eyes. Creating a soft, cozy environment to help students learn is my goal.

My Project

I am trying to create a soft and cozy place for my students to learn. I am starting with covering the fluorescent lights. These lights can cause headaches and blurry eyes among other issues. I am requesting covers for these lights.

In donating to our project, you will be helping to improve student attention and focus, which will ultimately help a student increase their academic achievement.

Also, the students are in desperate need of headphones to help them focus on just their work. Nowadays students are easily distracted and headphones will be super helpful for learning in the classroom!
