What Others Are Saying About Us
This was great information. Some of our parents had no idea themselves. Thanks for making our families more aware.
Classroom Educator
The program was beneficial to our students. It provided our kids with great information that will hopefully translate into the community and provide natural gas awareness and safety in the school and neighborhoods.
Classroom Educator
This program got the kids really excited to share more with their parents today. My entire class was able to recite what to do if they see a downed power wire. They also really liked learning about the different flag colors as many were able to share that they have seen them around. Great engagement, lots of materials for families to explore.
