Several schools embraced "BURR Sweater Days" as the weather turned cold this year. On three designated days, staff turned down the heat and encouraged students to wear warm clothes like sweaters or hoodies, thereby reducing energy use through this behavior change.

In embracing "BURR Sweater Days," our schools not only kept warm during the colder months but also made a significant impact on energy conservation. This simple yet effective initiative showcased our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. It is a reminder that even small changes in behavior can lead to substantial benefits for our environment and the future generations we aim to protect.
