Townline Gets Solar Panel Station Grant!

Townline Elementary School, along with other schools in Hawthorn District 73, will benefit from solar energy next school year.  Administration wrote a grant for Solar Panels through the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation.  Not only will we see lower electricity costs, but students and staff will also learn more about the benefits of harnessing the sun’s power.  Our staff plan to infuse the concepts of solar energy and conservation into their curriculum and use the panels as a teaching tool.  For more information about the Illinois Solar Schools Program, please visit the following website:  http://www.illinoissolarschools.org
