Ekalaka 5th Grade Takes Home Energy Challenge Prize!

Once again, Carter Co. students entered the American Home Energy Challenge sponsored by the Dept of Energy and the National Science Teachers Assoc. This year we tied with 4 other teams for 2nd place of Honorable Mention. Educator Mrs. Elmore and Marlene Waterland from Southeast Electric organized our game plan which included performing energy audits in the students’ homes. The students managed to use .615% less electricity in Sept, Oct & Nov of 2013 when compared to 2012. The goal was to use 3.0% less electricity, however considering the colder weather in 2013, we were lucky to show any savings at all. There were appx. 350 students competing so our class of 10 students performed well to win $1,000 plus a pizza party. The class plans to take a field trip to Gillette, WY, to tour the Campbell County School District Planetarium this fall with their winnings.

Schwan Student Council Fundraiser!

| Print |

The Carter County High School Student Council in Ekalaka, Montana, is working to raise funds to send representatives to the National Student Council Convention in Orlando, Florida (June 24-29, 2014).
Only one member was able to attend last year, and she felt it was a life-changing experience.The motivational speakers were so inspiring because students not only listen but then have the opportunity to attend workshops put on by these speakers to learn how to improve their leadership skills. It is also a great opportunity to network with other students from around the nation. for Campaign

The student council has many duties and responsibilities throughout the year. including spirit week, responsibilities for the flag, the Veterans Day Program, Snowball dance, and fundraisers for national and local organizations.On the national level, they have supported the Josh Stevens and Make A Wish Foundations, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and locally, the Ekalaka EMT's, the Ekalaka Volunteer Fire Department and Relay for Life.The council also does community service such as helping at the food bank.
The organization emphasizes teamwork and leadership, with an emphasis on leading by example.
Student council students in our small community rarely have opportunities for travel outside the state. This trip would enable them to meet other student leaders from around the country and broaden their horizons with leadership workshops and outstanding national speakers.
Your support of our campaign 7928, would be greatly appreciated. To contribute to the campaign, please utilize the link below when ordering online:Training Tomorrow's Leaders Today
When using the phone, be sure to give the Campaign # of 7928. As the campaign is ongoing, funds raised may also contribute to later trips. Contact Mrs. Cole for more information.
