ONE TEACHER
will receive an
ALL EXPENSES PAID TRIP FOR TWO TO
HAWAII

“I’ve used the state core standards in my curriculum as my foundation to educate these students. I have had students writing about energy conservation, researching, making graphs, debating, and public speaking to spread our message. This has been a very rewarding educational adventure for me. I have changed over 60 lights in my own home to CFL bulbs. Being an educator is all about igniting students’ creative abilities. These students are ignited with enthusiasm and knowledge. What a great combination!”

~ Patti White, elementary school teacher
