Jasper County REMC emphasizes electrical safety at every education level.
- Some of our programs include:
- HeadStart basic education
- Classroom demonstrations
- Emergency Responder full-size hotline demonstrations
- Our Member Services coordinator and a lineman will present the information to any audience
- You’re never too young, or too old, to learn what’s new in electrical safety
HeadStart Classroom
Our HeadStart program includes:
- Simple coloring books with characters illustrating electrical safety messages
- The coloring books make excellent “story time” reading in the classroom
- Dramatic discussion about climbing trees and flying kites around power lines
- We get a lot of audience participation at this level and are able to make sure they understand the information
- The kids see some of the tools that linemen use
- A tour of the big line truck
- They just might get bucket rides if they’re really good students
