This year our students learned a megawatt-that's a lot-about where energy comes from and how we can save BIG by using less.
Thanks to TVA EnergyRight and Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation, the School Uplift energy management program taught us how to save energy and money by learning how to use energy wisely. We also learned why reducing energy waste is important for our classroom, the environment and the economy.
Our entire school community participated in this yearlong program. Simple behavior changes-like turning off the lights, powering down at the end of the day and unplugging before breaks-helped our school save significantly on energy costs.
By incorporating energy-saving measures in our operations and maintenance processes, we'll keep on saving for years to come! That's more money in our budget for books, supplies and learning.
School Uplift helped our school save energy and money, and we had a blast while doing it! Our students and staff learned about energy awareness and management through interactive activities, games, posters, and more!
Thank you to all of those who participated in this year's School Uplift program.
