In 2012, five schools were invited to take part in an innovative and exciting new pilot program from ComEd called the Earth Month Challenge. This Challenge was built around a contest that awarded points for students and families that completed energy-related tasks. Each school and its participating students competed against four other selected schools and earned points during the month of April, 2012.
