Stearns Electric teaches energy efficiency, electrical safety to Kennedy fourth-graders
Employees from Stearns Electric Association visited fourth-graders at Kennedy Community School on Jan. 25 to provide an interactive presentation on energy efficiency and electrical safety.
Prior to the presentation, students learned about basic electricity principles as part of their school curriculum.
Stearns Electric’s live, energized home-and-farm model, which showed students what can happen when they get too close to electrical equipment, was the highlight of the presentation. The presentation also demonstrated how to react in a vehicle accident involving a power line.
