STUDENTS AT LEAKEY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND BEC representatives held a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday, August 31 to officially celebrate the installation of a 5-kilowatt solar system. The solar system, valued at $15,000, was donated by BEC Solar to Leakey ISD for winning BEC’s Power Your School video contest. Leakey ISD students from Mindy Harmison’s spring 2018 secondary science classes submitted a newscast-style video in which they reported on the benefits of a solar system. Students who participated are Kayla Allen, Jayden Billman, Ian Buchanan, Daisy Cervantes, Anais Colunga Oliva, Ethan Fortner, Alexis Gonzales, Ruben Gerrero, Connor Hurles, Rayden Lopez, Ginna Magill, Sarah Merritt, Krisanne Perez, Serena Salazar, Avery Satterwhite, Anna St. Clair, Shelbi Suttles, Caden Turner and Arlet Velazquez. “My students and I are delighted for the opportunity to help educate LISD students, their parents and the community about the benefits of using renewable energy sources,” Harmison said. “Thanks again to BEC. This has been a great experience!” The Power Your School contest promotes solar energy by giving students, children and teachers the opportunity to reduce their school’s electric bill. The program helps the environment by generating clean, renewable energy and provides an ongoing exhibit demonstrating the generation of power. The winning video can be viewed at bit.ly/BECPowerYourSchool.
