BIG NEWS FROM THE GREEN TEAM!
With Ms. Jackson's enthusiastic support, the Maury Green Team will be having a classroom "Energy Star" contest. Classes will compete for the most consistent paper recycling, lights off for lunch and after school, and computers in hibernation when not in use. Each class will appoint a classroom leader(s), who will have "Energy Star" badges. The contest will go for 8-10 weeks. At the end, a pizza party will be given to the winning class and the leader (s) will make a presentation to the school!
Parents will be in charge of monitoring the classes. So, we need volunteers! It will be very easy. On the day of your choice, you go to either the K/1st/2nd grade rooms, or the 3rd/4th/5th grade rooms at their lunch/recess period or after school. A chart will be in each room. You will assess for paper in the recycling box (not garbage), lights off and computers all in hibernation (star sticker for compliant, monkey sticker for noncompliant).
We need two monitors per week. So, the more the better! Please get in touch with Samantha Ahdoot at atkinssam@yahoo.com if you're interested, and any particular week you are/are not available.
