School Curriculum

Our constant care about the quality of our community has led us to provide an Energy Saving School Curriculum to our local area elementary and middle schools. We are interested in educating the community on energy and water efficiency measures that can be implemented to create a lifestyle change, which in turn can lead to utility saving for our customers.

The curriculum includes games and other interactive activities, such as Energy Bingo and the Pay Me game, are used to educate students about energy efficiency. Subjects include:

  • the importance of renewable resources
  • where energy comes from
  • how to save energy at school and home
  • how to protect the environment

By offering this curriculum to area schools, GRU expects to make learning and practicing energy efficiency fun. All elements necessary to carry out the lessons can be found in the individual game boxes. Materials have been designed so that the games may be played directly from the box without the help of the Teacher's Resource Guide, which provides back-up material and information to enhance each lesson.
