No Monkeying Around When It Comes to Saving Energy
Hi all,
Welcome back from Winter Break and here's to 2016--- the Year of the Monkey!
Last semester's Energy Challenge Competition has resulted in our biggest savings yet! Final numbers won't be available until late January, but I'm confident to say that our students, staff, and HVAC teams are responsible for more than $200,000 in energy cost savings of which 20% will be awarded to schools that participated in the competition.
Please see important information and details regarding the Spring Semester Kick Off Meeting & Awards Ceremony below!
As always, I am here to help find resources related to sustainability and environmental education in order to accelerate learning for every student, every day.
Again, thank you for sharing your time and talent with our students and I look forward to working with you all over the next semester!
Best,
Julie
