What Others Are Saying About Us

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.

Elementary Teacher

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

We have used the poster, online games, and the challenge booklet. It is an excellent way to inform students about energy, specifically Natural gas. It covers 4th grade science standards too. Thank you for doing this and making it very simple to implement in school. The students love it!
