School Energy Reduction Challenge
Lakeland Elementary Middle School is currently competing in the Baltimore Energy Reduction Challenge, which has Baltimore City schools compete to see who can conserve the most energy during a set period of time.
Light Switch Labeling
Students have placed "Please Turn it Off" labels on light switches throughout the school, including classrooms, bathrooms, offices and public spaces. The labels and students remind and encourage members of the school community to turn off light switches when rooms are not being used.
Energy Patrol
Through Lakeland's work with the Baltimore Energy Challenge we have been able to create an "Energy Agent" group made up of 4th graders. The Energy Agents are tasked with patrolling Lakeland in search of "energy vampires" who drain energy from the school.
