The National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project Board of Directors has named the Hoover Math and Science Academy in Schaumburg as the Illinois Elementary Level School of the Year and invited representatives from the school to recognition ceremonies June 24 to 27 in Washington, D.C.

All NEED schools have outstanding classroom-based programs in which students learn about energy. Advisers Karen While and Gloria Cole run the SHARE program at Hoover, which stands for Students at Hoover Acting Responsibly for the Earth, its Environment and Energy.

Students in the program measured the school’s progress on the “road to change,” and organized an all-school Energy Bingo and other programs focused on a goal of conserving energy.
