COLORADO SPRINGS — On April 23rd, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited South Park Elementary School and spoke with some first graders about Colorado's crazy weather.
These kids know everything from building a winter safety kit to understanding severe weather preparedness.
These are some very bright students, and they had a ton of great questions. They even had some personal stories to share about severe weather.
During the hail experiment, Lauren got a lot of "oos" and "ahs". She got to teach them about how hail forms within thunderstorms.
Lauren is booked through the rest of the school year, but you can still get a head start for the upcoming school year. You can email her with any questions at lauren.brand@koaa.com
