Jesse Hoff (left) was among several presenters during the Earth Day observance at Cedaredge Elementary School. Above Hoff shows the heating effects on crayons in a solar oven. He also showed how solar energy can be used to power batteries, which in turn power machines such as fans.

On Friday, April 27, all 378 students from Hunsicker Elementary School — representing grades K-5 — took time out to celebrate a second Earth Day in order to learn more about energy and energy conservation, as they prepare to attend school next year in a new building with state-of-the-art energy saving amenities.

Friday's presentations included discussions regarding conservation and energy efficiency and solar energy.

Delta Middle School has been raising money and bringing in seed packets for the last three weeks to participate in “The Need For Seed” campaign through Hope Springs International. This fabulous organization is working to provide seeds for Nigeria as well as teach them how to use drip irrigation so they can provide for their families. More information is available at www.hopespringsint.com. DMS staff and students were able to collect over 1,000 packets of seeds to send to Nigeria. We are hoping the community follows suit. If you would like to donate or would like more information about “The Need For Seed” campaign, contact Nathan Hamm (student organizer, pictured above) or his father Darin at (918) 697-4458.
