Here's more information about the check presentation ceremony.
Max, Ben, and Sean were the greeters for our guests. First we had a speech by Maeghan Maloney, who wrote the grant. Next, the Stepping Stones Upper Elementary class students made presentations. Langdon presented his project about Wind Energy. Raymond talked about energy basics like a kilowatt hour and who invented the electric generator. Joshua presented about the student blog, which you are now reading! Carlene discussed what our school is doing already to help the environment. Gabe and Anna talked about different energy sources such as wind and solar. Ariana and Bridger presented a list of the positive aspects of wind power that the class had brainstormed. Tessa told the audience about the next steps in the project once the windmills are installed. Atticus gave flowers to his mom, Maeghan, for all her hard work.
We were very excited to have lots of important people at this event, such as Augusta School Superintendent, Dr. Connie Brown; Director of the Capital Area Technical Center, Scott Phair; the Augusta City Manager, Bill Bridgeo; Augusta School Board Member, Derek Grant; Owner of All Season Home Improvement, Bob Greig (who will supply the windmills); State Farm Insurance Agents Deanna Lynn Woodruff, Betsi Taylor, Sherrie Doyon, and Dennis Keller; and of course, the Directors of Stepping Stones Montessori School, Carrie Gervais and Jennifer Cousins. Some of these people spoke about their support of the windmill project. Other Stepping Stones staff, students, and parents attended as well.
Primary kids at Stepping Stones Montessori School sang a song about windmills to end the ceremony. It was a great day.
