We are very excited to announce the completion of We are very excited to announce the completion of our first ever home proposal! One of our Project ReCharge students from Dayton Elementary School completed a proposal for home energy savings by replacing the light bulbs in her house to LED. Through her work she discovered that her home electric bill was 40% higher than average homes in her area and with the knowledge she's gained through Project ReChage she knew that by changing out her light bulbs to LED she could save money and help the environment. We were thrilled to help her see this project to completion and excited for her and her family to start seeing the cost savings from their new LED bulbs. #Envirolution #LyonCountySD #ProjectReCharge #homesavings #ledlights #energy
Teacher Spotlight Series! Today we are highlighti Teacher Spotlight Series! Today we are highlighting Cameron Piggott. Cameron teaches 8th grade Science at Sawyer Middle School in Las Vegas, NV. Cameron loves teaching his students in new and creative ways to keep them on their toes. He loves that he's teaching the future generation that will solve and help our world thrive in the future. We talked about how he was preparing for this school year and he told us, "deep breathing, lots of coffee and working through the new digital platform," they are using in Las Vegas. His favorite thing about his students is how caring and kind they can be, even though middle school can be a tough time for some kids, he notes that kindness and empathy can go a long way. In talking to Cameron about the Project ReCharge lessons he stated, "The idea that our students have a chance to learn about science concepts through hands-on learning, is amazing and perfect. We do not have many lab supplies at our school. So the experiences Project ReCharge is giving our students is so appreciated." Thank you Cameron! We are so excited to have you on our Project ReCharge team as we expand into Southern Nevada. #Envirolution #teachers #partnership #Sawyermiddleschool #LasVegas #education #ProjectReCharge

For our next Partner Spotlight series, we spoke wi For our next Partner Spotlight series, we spoke with Alyssa Wagner, the Reno Program Director for Sierra Nevada Journeys. During quarantine, Alyssa and her team had to shift from teaching in the classroom and taking students on field trips to creating virtual content for the teachers to utilize. Alyssa has shifted from coordinating the classroom lessons and field trips to developing curriculum. During this time, she misses seeing her team in-person and not being in the classroom / field with the students. "I miss hearing my teams' stories about the adorable things students do and I miss getting to see the excitement as students learn about nature." Looking at the positive, Alyssa stated that they have put together over 6 units for teachers to use for free and more are being developed. She loves how her team has made the switch to virtual and are making it work. She's focusing on being more sustainable by taking this time to learn more about local sustainable programs. She also switched to toilet paper that is 100% recycled and also shipped in recycled boxes so no plastic! She is purchasing household supplies in refillable containers that are not packaged in plastic and have no harsh chemicals. She's also driving less! Way to go Alyssa, thanks for talking with us and thanks for the long-lasting wonderful partnership we have with Sierra Nevada Journeys. #sierranevadajourneys #sustainability #Envirolution #Education #STEAM
