We were fortunate to have a representative from BG&E’s Community Relations & Outreach Unit to talk to the boys about power generation, how to save energy, and how to stay safe around electricity.  The boys had a lot of questions (and stories) and really seemed to enjoy the presentation.

The video that was shown, last night,  comes from their website which has games, videos, and a lot more information.  It is well worth checking out with your son.   www.bge-education.com
