Area fourth graders participated in a four-part program demonstrating the dangers of electricity and the technical skills required to be a lineman, hosted by South Plains Electric Cooperative.

The program was held on October 4 in Childress, October 6 in Spur and October 11-13 in Lubbock.

This program was presented to over 1,000 students this fall to help demonstrate the Cooperative’s commitment to community during National Cooperative Month. This is the Cooperative’s 22nd year to host the safety demonstrations that have reached over 20,000 kids.
