We all use energy every single day. But did you know that a lot of the energy we use to power our homes and schools still comes from fossil fuels? What can we do to use more clean energy? We can change the time of day that we use it!
The Bella Vista community is going to have a contest! Classrooms will compete against each other to see who can submit the most pledges. The classroom at our school with the most submitted pledges will receive a donut party or pizza party.
With the help of your parents, you will complete a home energy investigation and pledge at your home on a phone, computer, or tablet. It is important that you type in our school name and your teacher's last name because the teacher's clssroom with the most submitted pledges will win a prize. You will answer questions about lighting, heating & air conditioning, and appliances. Then, as a family you will pledge to do at least one thing to shift your energy to off-peak hours.
Bella Vista students can access many educational programs from home. If your child does not have a device at home, they can use a public computer at the library. Go to the Clever Portal and sign in with Google.
