Approximately 33% of our electric energy is used for lights alone. In our district, that accounts for close to $385,000. Turning off unnecessary lighting saves money!!

Stop Yelling - Save Energy
11/15/17 West Middle
According to Fossil Fuels magazine, if a person yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, he/she would create enough energy to heat one cup of coffee! That’s a ridiculous way of thinking about energy use but it goes to show easy it is to forget how much energy our life style requires. What ways can you reduce your energy consumption?

Projectors
11/09/17 Gleason Lake Elementary
All the projectors were cleaned, and teachers were reminded to shut them down when not in use to save energy.
Turn off Projectors
11/08/17 West Middle
Not only does it waste energy to leave room projectors on when not in use but it also adds cost to the district by decreasing the life of the bulbs. You can help save energy and reduce equipment wear by remembering to turn your projector off when not in use and at the end of each day. Students, you can help too. If you notice a teacher has forgotten to turn off their projector, politely remind them at an appropriate time. Together, we can make a difference!
