Wylie East students Maddie Almario, Lauren Bickers and Destini Cole wear green in honor of the Wylie ISDs five day ‘Power Challenge”. The event was sparked in an effort to call attention to electricity usage and options on reducing usage.
The push for energy conservation and green initiatives is sweeping across the state of Texas. Last week Wylie ISD began a Five Day Power Challenge.
The district teamed up with Schneider Electric to help implement the program, receiving training about how behavior/attitude towards energy contributes to carbon foot printing. The goal is to reduce energy use by 10 percent and transfer those savings back to the classroom.
