Chemistry Curtains

The chemistry lab is in need of some black-out curtains for the classroom. There is a lab that is conducted during the year that requires near-total darkness. While taping bulletin board paper to the windows has been moderately effective, a permanent option would be so much better and easier! 

There are three windows and a door that needs to have curtains made. 

Wall window measurements: 72"x38"

Window between classrooms measurements: 50"x80"

Door window measurements: 6"x22" there are 2 of these in the chemistry lab.

I have no preference for what the curtains look like, but if you wanted to make them chemistry-themed or if you can find material that is science-related that would be amazing! 

I can offer you volunteer hours for making the curtains as well as buying the materials if you can keep the receipts. This opportunity has the potential to fulfill all 4 of your required hours.

If you find curtains that would work for the lab and want to just buy curtains, I can offer you hours for the contribution if you keep the receipts.

This is a great need to fill in this chemistry room, and if you're a wizard with the sewing machine, this is an easy way to help our school and get those hours!

If you have more questions, please reach out to me! This is an ongoing need. If/when the need gets filled, I'll remove this option from the parent volunteer hours page. 

Thank you in advance for your help in our school!
