“It is important both our customers and our children understand natural gas safety,” said Mike Roeder, vice president of government affairs and president of Vectren North. “Energy Safe Kids is a fun, memorable program for fourth graders to learn about the properties of natural gas and what to do when they suspect a natural gas leak.”
This fall, Vectren and NEF plan to provide approximately 180 classroom presentations to more than 10,000 students in more than 170 schools throughout Vectren’s Indiana service territories: Vectren North and Vectren South.
Participating students will learn about the basics of natural gas. Each student will receive an Energy Safety booklet that encourages him/her to Live Smart and Take Action by following safety precautions at home and at school. Each participating teacher/classroom will receive teaching materials that include a teacher guide, accompanying CD and energy instructional posters.
