 Redding School of
the Arts is moving. We've all known that for a long time, but did you
know that they're relocating to a modern, high tech environmental school,
funded by the McConnell Foundation (the same organization that built the
Sundial Bridge)? "I'm very excited about the fact that it's green," stated Alison Krupit, a fourth grade teacher at Redding School of the Arts, at the ground breaking. The new school will be built out of recylced materials, such as plastic bottles, and is a Platinum LEED Certified School. This means that its construction in environmentally sound and it fits six major criteria: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation and design process. The building, which will be on Moss and Shasta View, down the street from Mountain View and across the street from the McConnell Foundation Park, will be finished by January 2010, at the minimum. "Phase one is to build the school," said Dan Hatch, another RSA teacher. "Phase two is to build a theatre that will be open to the community." A new theatre is not the only cool gadget that comes with the school. The new campus will have solar panels, recycle water, a garden for kids to grow foods that will be used for their lunches, classrooms built north-east, translucent corridors that will conserve energy, a small lake, and a slide from the second story to the first. But will future schools be built under the same standards? Because the classrooms face north-east, the school will have fresh air circulation, making the air healthier and cleaner to prevent absences. With suspicions of global warming growing, green schools may become more and more popular. |

 Teens of today often seek an escape; an escape from school, friends, family and ultimately an escape into their own world. Why, you may ask? Teens find comfort in words that directly relate to their experiences. It gives them a moment of vulnerability without showing it. (Read more...) |
