As the school endeavors to save energy, we do so in order to save money in operating costs, but also because the larger community can share these benefits as well. As one of the two the largest users of power in Portola Valley, the Priory has the opportunity to pursue energy efficiency programs that will save the school money in the short term, but may also help to reduce energy prices for all in the long run. This is not only because of the Priory’s size in relation to its neighbors, but also because of the sphere
of influence that the Priory – and other schools like it, in other communities like ours – inhabits. What happens at the Priory doesn’t have to stay at the Priory.
Please join me, then, in celebrating a fantastic school year that has seen so much to be proud of -- locally and globally. And, join me also in hoping for more and better in the years to come.
Thank you for your consideration and support – at home and in the big world. Best Wishes,
Hovey Clark Sustainability Coordinator
