Quote of the Day

“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them to the impossible.” ~ Arthur C. Clarke

The following power point was created by Student Council and the 5th Grade Kid Leaders:

Energy

What’s Going on in Our School?

Who is Mr. Blair• He is an energy specialist• He is in charge of monitoring the energy bills

of the school district• He comes to each school 2-3 times a week to

make sure we are not wasting energy• He sends an e-mail to all the teachers every

Friday to remind them to conserve energy at school as well as at home

• He speaks to new teachers about conserving energy and gives a presentation at the beginning of each school year

What We’ve Done

• The energy saving program began in 2010• PRMS saved $80,000 last summer by using

40% less energy, • Since November of 2010, the district has

saved, $700,000 in only 2½ years• With the money saved, new flooring was

installed at Sharon School• The money also goes to student programs

Problems to Fix• 25% of the energy used in this country is wasted• When you’re done using a computer, turn off the monitor• Turn off the lights when you leave the room• When it’s hot out, close the blinds so the sun doesn’t hit

the floor and heat the room• Open the blinds and use natural light; it’s calming when

the lights are off• Remind adults to turn thermostat off when you leave a

room• Un-plug appliances that are not being used

Ideas for Future

• We want more student involvement with our goal to become a more energy efficient school

• Eventually, we hope the whole country is more aware of their energy use

• Have energy awareness assemblies• Get teachers to turn off their lights for “An

Hour Without Power”
