Energy Education

Your community challenge tip for the day is to remember to turn up the thermostat to 85-90°F if you leave for a summer vacation, so you don’t cool your home when no one is there to enjoy it.

Thanks to the fun and good sports for volunteering!

Energy Education

Your energy saving tip for the day is to try to concentrate your air conditioning flow to the rooms or areas of your home that you use the most. This is more energy-efficient than trying to cool your entire home. Close the vents in those rooms you don’t frequently use, like spare bedrooms and the basement and only open them when you need them.

Energy Education


Since we’re quickly approaching summer, your Energy Education Community Challenge tips for this week are all about saving energy over summer break. On those nice days when it doesn’t feel as hot, turn off your AC and use ceiling, floor and table fans instead. Fans use a fraction of the energy that central AC units do — so when the job can be done by a fan, pick the fan.

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge


To keep things interesting, we have added to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge! No one wants to see Mr. Hutchison take a bucket alone and we want to raise lots of money for this important cause. There will be a table set up in the cafeteria during all lunches starting today until Thursday May 9th to vote for a staff member to take the challenge alongside Mr. Hutchison on Friday May 10th. Drop some change or a few bucks in some buckets. The staff member with the most money in their bucket at the end of the day next Thursday will be drenched with Mr. Hutchison next Friday. Thanks to the fun and good sports for volunteering!
