Partner Opportunities

Satori Elementary School and Green Mountain Energy Company have partnered to install a solar array for the school located at 2503 Sealy St., Galveston.
The Green Mountain Energy^® Solar at Satori Elementary School is 2.8 kilowatt (kW) and was installed in April 2009.
It is Galveston’s first solar-powered school and will help educate students about the benefits of solar energy through a monitoring website.
The 440-square-foot solar array is mounted on the building’s roof and was built with 16 photovoltaic (PV) solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity, producing about 5,500 kW of clean energy annually.
The solar array will offset 7,300 pounds of carbon dioxide (C0₂) annually. C0₂ is a greenhouse gas that is a leading contributor of global warming. This has the same environmental impact of the annual sequestration from nearly 440 trees.

Satori Elementary School is a parent cooperative school for K-5th graders.
The school was the first Galveston school to re-open following Hurricane Ike in spite of serious damage to the first floor of the school property.
Satori Elementary School was founded in 1980 with a mission to provide a nurturing environment where children discover fundamentals within the context of an integrated, real-world curriculum.
Satori is committed to helping each child reach their full potential using innovative teaching, individual attention, and parental involvement and is committed to providing each child with eco-friendly values.
Satori Elementary School is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization. For more information, visit www.satorischool.net
