"When Not In Use, Turn Off The Juice"

Ralph Askins School is a

GREEN SCHOOL

and

This is how we did it!!!

1) Ralph Askins 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders are sponsored by Mrs. Jennifer Haynes, Mrs. Julie

    Rowden, and Mr. Walter Wright.

2) Implemented several things this year to save energy:

    1. New light bulbs installed.

    2. Principal assisted teachers and falculty in turning off light switches in rooms along with 

        televisions, radios, and video games.

    3. Don't stand with the refrigerator door open.

    4. Use your blinds and curtains in the summertime.

    5. Students monitor turning off bathroom lights.

    6. Technology Dept. assisted us by setting all computer monitors to

        "go to sleep" after 10 minutes of no use.

    7. Technology Dept. has replaced CRT monitors with low power flat screens.

    8. Technology Dept. has installed splitter boxes to feed 4 monitors from one

        computer tower.

3) One of our future goals are to evaluate motion sensor lighting in bathrooms, classrooms, and

    some low traffic areas of the school.

Since our schools took the TEAM APPROACH and through the support of our students, schools, and community, we have drastically lowered energy costs in our schools.
