"APS students are leading the charge for energy efficiency & resource conservation in our community!"
Aurora Public School students and the Green Star Schools Program were honored last Tuesday night at the US Green Building Council (USGBC) Colorado Chapter's Holiday Gala.
APS is the first school (EVER) to be awarded the "Most Successful Community Engagement" Award!
That's right, y'all! Our hard work has paid off and every little (or big) effort towards promoting energy efficiency and sustainable projects throughout our district has added up.
What an honor it has been to see our students in action. Onward and upward! #apsgreenstars
Countdown to Power Down: 5 More Days 'til Winter Break Shutdown!
With our combined efforts, we're on track to save more than $200,000 THIS SEMESTER with 20% of that total coming back to those schools that participated in the Green Star Schools! Let's finish strong! Please remind your staff to unplug, turn off, shutdown, and peace out for the upcoming Winter Break!
The "OFF" switch is there for a reason! Let's see how much we can save!
As always, I'm here to help find resources, answer questions, and connect you with outside professionals to engage your student groups!
Thank you for sharing your time and talent with our students and here's to another week of going green!
