School breaks turbine fundraiser goal
Monday, February 22, 2010
Students at Richard McKenna Charter School broke a $1,000 goal to raise money for the school's new wind turbine during their recent fundraiser.
McKenna students sold more than $1,300 in raffle tickets over the course of 12 days, said alternative-energy teacher Todd Thorn, who heads the wind turbine initiative.
The prize raffle was one of several initiatives the charter school is using to help buy the $4,000 turbine, which remains its last major expense before it proceeds with generator construction and installation.
