student artwork in energy calendar

Look what one of our students is doing! Sofia's artwork will be in the Electric Department's calendar. Her work is the choice for the month of March.

From the Burlington Free Press:


About a dozen Burlington fourth-grade students entered the Burlington Electric Department's doors to celebrate their art work that makes up BED's 2010 Energy Efficiency calendar.The two-hour ceremony and pizza party, held at the utility's Pine Street facility, celebrated the pages of artwork packed with tips on how to save energy. Each fall, BED officials visit fourth-grade classrooms in the city, explaining how to use energy wisely. After that, students pick up pencils, markers and crayons to draw pictures on how to conserve energy.This is the seventh year the project took place, with work entered into a contest and judged by a panel. The top 13 offerings make it into the calendar. All drawings will be on display in January at Burlington City Hall's Metropolitan Gallery.
