Today’s overachieving teacher is Kelsey Brands and she is planning on using the money to research renewable energy! Read what she wrote about her class below… Thank you to The Diplomat Beach Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton!

I would use $500 in my classroom for our Renewable Energy Cities. Every year our 4th graders research a renewable energy source and build a model of a renewable city. This is a working model, so I purchase solar cells, lamps, materials to build wind mills and water wheels. Other materials needed include popsicle sticks, tape, hot glue, cardboard scissors, and more. Most of the city is built from recycled products. We take the top 6 students to City Hall where they give a speech to our mayor.
They amaze me more and more every year!

Deserving teachers could win $500 for their class HERE!
