Elementary-Aged Students Show Importance of National Electrical Safety Month With Creative Posters

Falcon, CO – For Mountain View Electric Association, Inc, (MVEA), safety is the number one priority. To illustrate the importance of National Electrical Safety month this May, MVEA hosted the third annual Electrical Safety Poster Contest for kids in grades kindergarten through fifth. This year’s winning poster was created by Cathryn, a fourth-grade student at Prairie Winds Elementary.

In addition to MVEA’s overall poster contest winner, a winner from each grade level was selected. Each of the winners received a Kindle Fire, and the winners’ teacher received an Amazon gift card.

And the winners are:

  • Overall Winner – Cathryn, 4th grade student at Prairie Winds Elementary
  • Kindergarten Winner – Brynley, Big Sandy School
  • First Grade Winner – Zachary, Edith Wolford Elementary
  • Second Grade Winner – Kelsey, Monument Academy
  • Third Grade Winner – Riley, Falcon Elementary
  • Fourth Grade Winner – Keagan, Limon Elementary
  • Fifth Grade Winner – Morgan, Big Sandy School

Because we live and work in the community we serve, we care about our neighbors and their children. In an effort to keep our kids safe, we also conducted electrical safety demonstrations in each of the winning poster student’s classrooms. These demonstrations are offered free of charge to any school in MVEA’s service territory throughout the year. To learn more about MVEA’s Energy Learning Experiences, visit our Demos page.

MVEA’s poster contest is held each year January – March. Winners are chosen in April and featured each May to highlight National Electrical Safety Month.
