Students at Friendship Tech Prep Academy Charter School participated in the Alliance to Save Energy's, Student Energy Auditor Training (SEAT). These students are the core of Tech Prep's Energy Leadership Team and will be responsible for the energy conservation initiatives that will take place at the school this year. While the rest of the Tech Prep student body was learning about the general principles of energy use and conservation, the Energy Leadership Team received a broader, more in-depth understanding of energy. The Energy Leadership Team will now devise conservation strategies specific to their school. Click here to see the video of the whole school participation in hands-on energy projects.
On November 20, 2009, under the auspices of the Alliance to Save Energy and Guerilla Educators students at Friendship Tech Prep Academy conducted energy conservation projects at their school in the Anacostia section of Washington, DC. Every student learned about energy use and conservation, then every student was able to actually test for, hands-on, and gather data around wattage, light levels, temperature, and energy loads of incandescent, cfl, and led bulbs. This took an extraordinary degree of commitment, cooperation, and collaboration on the part of the admin team and those hard working teachers and really demonstrates the effective leadership of Principal Natalie Gordon and Vice Principal Widelene Desarmes that makes Tech Prep an oasis of academic and social stability in a very challenging neighborhood.
Special thanks to the Alliance's Emily Curley whose hard work made this extraordinary day possible.

The
Alliance to Save Energy's Saving Energy in DC Schools Team caught up
with Principal Liz Whisnant at Horace Mann Elementary School in
Washington, DC during Earth Day activities there. Ms Whisnant spoke
about many of the sustainable and green programs going on with the
students at Mann, including their gardening, recycling, and energy
conservation projects. Very inspiring that Ms Whisnant is integrating
sustainability activities directly into the school day at Mann to help
achieve curricular objectives while teaching students the importance of
being good stewards of the environment. Take a look...
