The Power Patrol was led on a behind the scenes operator tour by Head Custodian Mr. Heller! Students saw how the computer maintains and adjusts room temperatures in the building. They also saw the boiler room and learned how it helps keep our school warm. Lastly, they learned about a ’crawl space’ upstairs that houses other pipes that keep our school operational. Thanks, Mr. Heller!

The Power Patrol went on a Vampire Hunt! They were in search of electronics that were plugged in but not being used. It was a fun challenge to find them in the school. We can all be reminded to try and make one small change this year to help reduce energy through this type of educational activity.

Fall is upon us with coller temperatures. This is a reminder to wear layers, try to leave the back double doors closed. If your room or space is exceptionally hot or cold, let the custodial staff know. They will I their best to adjust the tempeature keeping energy savings in mind.

If you are feeling cold at school, first try wearing a sweater to save on energy. Staff and students should be comfortable but please keep in mind that when the custodians adjust the heat, it can affect the classrooms and space around it ...for better or for worse!

Thanks for your enthusiasm about working together to save energy and to reduce/reuse/recycle! Many staff and students have already taken The Pledge. Please continue to forward any ideas to the Energy Champions. We can do great things together!
