Under the leadership of Ms Merrilee Harrigan, Vice President for Education at the Alliance to Save Energy, students at Oyster Adams Bilingual Public School participated in the Alliance's Student Energy Audit Training (SEAT). The event was part of the Alliances "Saving Energy in DC Schools" (SEDS) Green Schools program. Over the next 10 weeks and guided by teacher Jason Hoeksma, nineteen 7th and 8th grade Students at Oyster Adams will devise energy conservation strategies for their school designed to reduce energy costs. The SEAT training was conducted by Byron Humphries, an exceptional educator who specializes in helping students learn about the many facets of sustainability. Take a look...
During the 2008-'09 school year, 17 schools in Washington DC will participate in SEDS. This remarkable program will create powerful opportunities for students to achieve proficiency in grade appropriate curricular and standards-based objectives across a variety of disciplines, develop positive citizenship/leadership qualities, and realize significant energy savings for participating schools. WIN - WIN - WIN!

I think it's great that kids are being exposed to the potential to save energy in buildings. There are a ton of opportunties to save money, energy and lower environmental impacts in homes and buildings. Keep up the good work!
