How did the Aqueduct come to be?
Silas, please add how you came up with the idea here:
Different design. (We had a few designs)
We broke into three groups to start. We played tug of war on the blacktop. Then group B used the hill in Tug of war, found leverage of gravity. Group B found this useful. Read on.
Group B found this design to use leverage of gravity.
Easier if water rolling downhill than going uphill. If we ran it off the ground, it would be run along the wall.
We measured the ground and looked at the design, and pick the one we liked the best. We had a vote off of those. We did more measurements to find our favorite overall. We got the materials and returned to put it together.
First was a smaller cube and took a long time to build. Then we stretched it up the hill to get
We were concerned people would walk over it and disrupt it, so we moved it up and made it discrete with a mulch covering. A whole bunch of mulch and leaves. Then it was unseen and underground to do it's work!
If we add more tubes that would chance for collecting more rainwater volume per square foot.?
Have a question you would like to know about our Oak Trees; ask us below:
- Built in 2017-2018
- Energy Captain's engineered with the brilliance of Silas Weber to create the powerful Aqueduct
- Moves Up to 4 Rain Barrels of Water
- Stops Erosion on our hillside

Outside Clean-up and Maintenance
Our environment needs us as we need it.
With five outdoor areas, there is plenty of space to clean up in a socially distant way. School grounds are highlighted here in primary colors to distinguish separate spaces.
Safety First:
- No more than 10 volunteers at a time in one area.
- Use of PPE - Gardening Clothes, Face mask, Gloves
- Use own personal tools - rakes, shovels, trimmers, power tools.
- Personal space - 6 ft social distancing.
Social distance practice makes perfect in our strong community.
Green Grounds Overview:
Purple- Lower Building
Green- Western Run
Red- Outdoor Classroom
Yellow- Rain Garden
Blue- Upper Building
Common Procedure:
- Before Pictures
- Clean up (pollution).
- Weed weeds
- Trim for Fall
- Transplant where needed
- Mulch – Pile in UB parking
- After Pictures and Upload.
Specific Procedures: See headlines below
