REMC Presents 'A.C. Sparks'
Go fly a kite, but not near an electric line.
That's just one of the important safety messages being presented to more than 1,000 area fourth-graders as part of Kosciusko REMC's annual electric safety training.
Each spring, KREMC brings educator Jerry Palma, better known as "A.C. Sparks," to present his "School of Safety Sleuthing" to students. Through a visual display that uses a detective theme, students receive basic training on how to safely use electricity, and how to handle emergency situations when electricity is involved. The students also receive energy advice from Carol Presley, the cooperative's energy advisor.
This year, 15 schools and home-school groups in Kosciusko REMC's service area signed up for participation, with sessions being held this week and next.
"Safety is a top priority for us at KREMC, and helping kids learn how to be safe around electricity is one of the most important things we do," said KREMC President and CEO Steve Rhodes. "Providing safety training has always been a priority for the co-op. We're glad that we receive outstanding cooperation from area schools to provide this important education."
KREMC is a member-owned Touchstone Energy® electric cooperative serving more than 17,000 members throughout Kosciusko County and into surrounding counties.
