Lincoln Wins Grant for Alternative Energy Display
The JTG Foundation of Lewiston has awarded a $4,505 grant to three staff members at Lincoln Middle School in Portland to create an interactive display about alternative energy and the school’s sustainability projects.
The display will be located in the ground floor atrium closest to the school’s new geodesic dome. A monitor will display graphs of the energy production and pollution offsets from solar photovoltaic panels now being installed on the school’s roof and the side of the building. The display also will highlight other sustainability projects underway at Lincoln.
Grant funds will be used to purchase a flat screen television, computer, web cams and an interactive touch monitor. Lincoln teachers Thom Fournier and Christel Driscoll worked with the school’s Partnership developer, Phyllis Hey, to write the grant.
