Energy conservation
CLASSROOM REDUCING, REUSING AND RECYCLING
While recycling is an important goal in classrooms, our students feel that reducing both energy consumption and paper consumption are more valuable messages. They have made videos, power-points, multiple classroom announcements, and multiple all-school announcements. They are passionate about teaching the school that there are simple ways to reduce energy consumption in the classroom- from turning out your lights and using natural light regularly, to powering down computers and printers, and all electronic devices at the end of the day. |

EXTRA! EXTRA! TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF! Have you ever forgotten to turn your lights off after you leave your classroom? 5th grade students are helping teachers all around Bollman Bridge remember to turn off their lights when they leave. 5th grade students went around to classrooms and figured out which ones had automatic lights and which ones did not. They made signs for all of the classrooms with non-automatic lights to save energy. How great is that?! -Olivia, 5th grade |
WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?
A group of twenty-one 4th graders became curious about the remodeling of our school. They compiled a list of questions about the new lights, the new automatic drinking fountains, the sunlights, the window shades, the geo-thermal heating and cooling, the toilets- all of our new school features. They led a meeting with the architects and the builders involved in our remodeling in order to get answers to their questions and share their information with the school community. They wrote their initial list of questions in the spring of 2012, revised and submitted their list as 5th graders in fall of 2012, and finally hosted their meeting in March of 2013.
