CAP'N Energy & Friends Visit Riverview Elementary School in Hamilton
Weatherization Day Skit
CAP'N Energy and his Energy Team used rhymes and motions to teach Riverview Elementary students the importance of energy conservation.

On October 29, SELF and the Community Action Partnership of Greater Dayton (CAP) brought some very special friends to visit kindergarten through second graders at Hamilton's Riverview Elementary School.  CAP'N Energy and his Energy Team performed an interactive skit that shared easy tips and facts about how to be energy efficient.  Students joined in the rhymes and motions that helped them remember the tips.


A very
special thanks go to the CAP staff, Principal Mary Ann Hughes and Community Action Partnership's Weatherization Program for supporting CAP'N Energy and the Energy Team. 


 

SELF and CAP formed a partnership in 2009 to bring more weatheriztion efforts to Butler County.  For more information on Weatherization in Butler County, please visit SELF's Weatherization Page.
