Solar Project Saves District Money

The Clementon School District received a grant from New Jersey Clean Energy program to install a 42 kW photovoltaic solar system. A rebate of $149,650.40 was a great incentive to defray the costs of installation, equipment and interconnection. The solar power allows the district to reduce energy use, lower costs and protect the environment. In addition to receiving a $149,650.40 rebate, the district sold its Solar Renewable Energy Credits, for an additional source of income of $22,000. We have also saved approximately $500 a month on our electric bill since the installation of the solar panels. Additionally, on April 27, 2009, the Clementon Board of Education awarded a contract to Mr. Ray Angelini for a second solar project consisting of a 49.28 kW Solar System. A rebate of $49,280 will be received from the New Jersey Clean Energy program.

Some of the CES Highlights for the week of 3/1/10–3/5/10

This year, our school implemented a program called Response to Intervention (RTI). RTI is the process of instruction, assessment, and intervention that allows schools to identify struggling students early, provide appropriate instructional interventions, and increase the likelihood that the students can be successful and maintain their class placement. Ms. Stefan is one of our RTI teachers who takes Kindergarten students on a daily basis and provides them with classroom-based interventions using ongoing assessment information. This week, the students have been working on matching letter names and sounds with a picture. To accomplish this, the students played a memory game called Menu Match. The object of the game was to match letters with the objects that began with that letter. The students each received a spatula where they had to flip different menu items and match letters with the beginning sound of the picture. Each student had a turn to flip different pictures and to try to make a match.

This week in Mrs. Stiles' and Mrs. Schultz's fourth grade science class, students worked very hard to finish up their amazing science fair projects. On Friday, students began to practice speaking about their group projects in preparation for next Wednesday’s big event. Students shared with their classmates the hypothesis they chose, the steps they took to prove or disprove their hypothesis, the outcome of their experiment and what they would change about their experiment if they had to do it again. The interesting experiments included such topics as: “Which liquids are acids and bases?” “Does a soluble substance evaporate with water?” “Will adding salt to water help an egg float?” “What changes will occur when different substances are mixed?” “Which liquid best cleans pennies?” When asked what they liked most about their Science Fair projects, students reported that they liked doing the experiments and being able to copy the experiments at home and the amount fun they had while learning about their experiments.

GREAT JOB STAFF AND STUDENTS!
