A huge thank you to the Tennessee Valley Authority, BVI, and Clinton Utilities Board for their generous $5,000 grant donation to Claxton Elementary School!
This funding will support an innovative, hands-on energy education project that gives students the opportunity to explore energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and real-world problem solving.
As Claxton Elementary prepares to move into a new school building on a new campus, students will become energy detectives, engineers, and designers—studying energy use in their current school, exploring ways to make their new school more energy efficient, and creating solutions that can make a lasting impact.
Students in kindergarten through fifth grade will participate in learning experiences connected to their science standards, from exploring how energy powers everyday life to investigating energy transfer, conservation, recycling, composting, and ways to support the school garden.
Thank you to TVA, BVI, and CUB for investing in Claxton Elementary students and helping make meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities possible. This grant will empower students to think critically, solve problems, and help shape a more energy-conscious and environmentally responsible future for their new school.
