LINEMEN VISIT ELLINGTON ELEMENTARY That’s my dad out there! Lake Region linemen, Levi and Cale, recently had a great time visiting Mrs. Simpson’s class at Ellington Elementary! Levi’s son, Beau, was especially excited to have his dad and Cale come meet all his friends at school. The crew shared a look into their day-to-day work, talking with students about their truck, tools, and equipment. The highlight came when Cale extended the “long stick” high into the air and demonstrated the bucket truck, rising up above the students. Their excitement and curiosity filled the room. During the visit, students learned what it takes to keep the lights on and how crews safely restore power during outages. They enjoyed an up-close look at the equipment used in the field and were especially fascinated by the bucket truck. Many students even had the opportunity to sit inside the truck for photos, making the experience both educational and memorable.

Moments like these are a great reminder that when the power goes out, it is often someone’s parent, family member, friend, or neighbor working to restore service. Lineworkers regularly leave their own families, at all hours and in all kinds of weather, to ensure others can remain safe and comfortable at home. Thank you to Mrs. Simpson and her pre-K class for the warm welcome. We always enjoy connecting with our future co-op members and sharing a little about what we do each day.
