Our students enjoyed an exciting visit from Bright Star Touring Theatre, sponsored by Duke Energy! The interactive play, Pirates of the Efficient Sea, took students on a high-seas adventure where the pirates’ mission was to make their ship more energy efficient. Along the way, students learned practical ways to save energy at home and school—like using aerators and weather strips, and unplugging cords or devices that aren’t in use. The performance was both entertaining and educational, leaving students with valuable tips on how to conserve energy and lower electric bills.
Several students from each grade level even had the chance to join the pirates on stage and help them find the hidden treasure—a special Duke Energy efficiency kit! Families who power their homes with Duke can order a FREE kit by scanning the QR code on the papers sent home with students. For every 15 kits registered, your child’s teacher earns $50 to spend on classroom supplies. Plus, schools with the most kits ordered have the opportunity to win thousands of dollars in rewards!
