Looks like all of our good deeds are getting some good recognition. I don't see newspapers trumpeting the achievements (or lack thereof) of the "Energy Club"...

Money and academic opportunities are blowing in the wind at Mahtomedi High School, and a group of citizens dedicated to going green intends to capture them

We're proud to have touched off a movement within our school. Thank you Senator Al Franken.
