It’s Thursday after school, and a group of fourth- and fifth-grade students huddle around a “Kill-A-Watt” meter diligently recording how much energy a classroom fan
consumes when it’s running. At Brush Creek Elementary, fourth-grade science teacher Drew Musser goes above and beyond his regular teaching responsibilities to help this
special bunch of students make a difference at their school. They call
themselves B.E.S.T., the Bobcat Energy Saving Team.
They are part of a growing company of teachers and student leaders in
the Eagle Valley collaborating with Walking Mountains Science Center to
take the Eco-Schools challenge and problem-solve ways to save energy and
reduce waste in their schools. These task forces or Eco-Teams work
tirelessly to make their schools and our community more sustainable.
