On Wednesday morning, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited Villa Bella Expeditionary School. Kindergartners got to learn about different weather events that we see across Colorado. They were very enthusiastic and had some great ideas on how to stay safe during severe weather.
Later in the afternoon, Lauren visited Legacy Peak Elementary school and talked to some 3rd graders. They came in very excited and ready to learn. They were very interested in tornadoes and hailstones. These smart cookies also just finished learning about the difference between weather and climate, so they got to show off just how much they knew.
