Philo Magnet Gets "Energized"



On Friday, the Energized Guyz from the National Theatre for Children visited Philo Magnet Academy. The Energized Guyz use fun experiences to teach the importance of energy conservation and efficiency.

Their visit was sponsored by Duke Energy. Its promo states, "Duke Energy seeks to promote a greener world by educating communities on how to become more energy efficient." The performance was interactive, giving Philo students a chance to participate in the fun. The performers went through a student workbook on being more green. 

“The two performers were wonderful,” said Julie Puckett, the Single School Culture Learning Team Facilitator at Philo. “Both students and staff learned and enjoyed the performance.”

The visit came with some satisfying potential fringe benefits. Every student, family and staff member associated with Philo can go on-line and obtain a free energy kit! The school in North Carolina with the highest percentage of people ordering the kits will win $1,000. Families ordering the kits are also eligible to win $5,000!
