Nondalton School Electricity Savings

Saving electricity is on everyone's mind at Nondalton school, particularly when we have a resident light switch nazi who goes around turning off all unnecessary lighting. (Thanks, Ron!) The presentation describes a summary of our electricity-saving quest and the spreadsheet shows our potential savings of over $2,000. If all schools in LPSD are saving as much as we are, this equates to $2,500 in our student account at the end of the year. Woohoo!!

The 9th and 10th graders helped with the recording for the gym lights and of course the next day we made a math lesson out of our data. I noticed that 10th grade is the ceiling for cool school involvement, so I'll be presenting the slide show to the junior high group. We are still practicing good energy saving practices, but last week our efforts were to no avail when the dental staff stayed for the whole week! Good thing we saved so much already.
