3rd Grade Reading Memorial Light Dept. t-shirt contest winner

One component of RMLD’s annual Public Power Week/Energy Awareness Month activities is a t-shirt contest for our 3rd grade students. Kyle Talbot was recently honored for his entry. His t-shirt is on display in the school lobby.

The students learned about wind power, solar power, hydropower and other renewable sources of non-polluting energy, as well as electrical safety during their fall curriculum. In addition, students began to understand about environmentally friendly sources of power and energy, known as green energy, as well as how each student can save energy at school and home. Students were then asked to turn this new knowledge into creative works of art.

The pictures below show winning entries from Kyle, Reading, and surrounding towns.
