Connecticut Light and Power is sponsoring a contest called “Live Green-Win Green” to get kids to think about the environment, use energy more wisely, and live a greener life. Participating high schools have to produce a 2 minute video showing the environmentally friendly changes they’ve made around their school and then write an essay explaining what they would do with the $20,000 grant money to make even more changes.
Our friend Annie, who has done Johann’s story time for the past 2 years at Bank Square Books, told us about it. Her daughter, Elma, has played a large role in entering the Williams School into the contest. Elma is a wonderful young lady and has come several times during her vacation as a guest reader to Johann’s story time. We want to help them win the contest. Please go and check it out. You can vote three times from one computer, so use all the computers that you have access to! The last time I checked they were ranked #7. Please go to www.williamsschool.org and click on the link to vote for the school. It will take you directly the William Schools entry at CL&P where you can see the video, read the essay, and cast your vote. The voting ends December 12!
