ST. BARBARA WINS PB ENERGY GRANT
Thanks to our science teacher, Ms. Beth Polich, St. Barbara was recently
notifed that we are the winners of a $5000 energy grant. The grant will
be used to teach students and families how to conserve energy by using
conservation friendly light bulbs. There were over 1300 entries from
across the country. Only three Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of
chicago were selected.
Due to Ms. Polich's departure from St. Barbara, math teacher, Monica
Mison, will take over the implementation of the grant. Ms. Mison
represented St. Barbara at the Museum of Science and Industry on June
21, 2007 to accept the award and grant money at a special awards dinner
honoring all winning entries.
More details to follow.
