Kid Powered Energy At Montessori School

I saw this story last night on the Fox Report, and thought I would share it with all of you. There is a Montessori School in North Greenbush, NY that uses kid powered energy to help run the water, and lights. How you ask? The merry go round, and other playground equipment is hooked up to generators and as the kids play, it generates power. They use Solar power technology as well. It is very cool. You can watch the video here

Congratulations To The Florida Gators

Yes as soon as we moved to North Florida, from upstate NY, we became instant Gator fans. My husband, and son, watch them every week. Yesterday, they defeated #1 Alabama, to win the SCC Championship. This should set them up to go to the Championship. It will be announced tomorrow. College football does a strange method of figuring out their rankings, and standings. I probably would need to go back to college, to figure it out myself. Anyway, a big Congratulations to the Florida Gators.
