Success!

We didn't win the $25,000 award, but WE REDUCED OUR ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY 8.7%.

Congratulations to all teachers and students who remembered to turn out the lights.

Lights Out Chant

Turn out the lights for you and your school,

if you want to be green and you want to be cool

Twenty-five thousand is our goal,

Cause we want the green and we want the gold

UP WITH THE SHADES, Down WITH THE LIGHTS

Turn, Turn, Turn out with the lights

Thanks to Herve for improving the chant, creating a beat, and chanting over the PA system.

Thanks to all students who suggested classroom lights be turned off.

Thanks to the Green Magnet Production Company students who diligently performed their energy audits.  These audits helped teachers and students remember to raise the shades and turn off the lights.

Guess what?  It turns out that students like naturally lit rooms better than rooms lit with fluorescent lights.
