This year, Gray Elementary will be forming a Green Team, with a focus on making a change in our environment through saving energy. We are so excited to share this new effort to strengthen our school community and reduce our energy footprints.  At Gray, our students and staff members are committed to learning ways we can be Energy Super Heroes.  As heroes, we are learning that when we save the energy we have, that we are saving it for future use.  This helps us preserve our essential resources that can help us in the future.

Our conservation committee has a variety of fun and exciting plans to provide special opportunities for all grades to contribute to our school’s energy conservation efforts.  For example, we plan to host lights out lunches to limit our school’s energy uses.  Additionally, we will learn and discover ways our school can reduce our environmental impact in any way we can.  Classrooms who wish to take part in challenges may even receive special rewards for their efforts.  Whether it be turning off our lights when we are not in our classrooms or not leaving the faucet running, big or small, we are excited to take the steps to reduce our school’s impact on the environment.  We take being energy super heroes very seriously, and we are so excited to get started!
