WTVM Weather Visit

Yesterday, third graders at PCES had a very special treat.  The meterologist, Derek Kinkade, from WTVM in Columbus, came and shared information about his job, weather, and how to stay safe.  Students enjoyed seeing some behind the scenes photos of how a news broadcast is put together, as well as some awesome photos of lightning, tornadoes, and super storms.

After his presentation, students were given time to ask some of their own questions about weather and the news.

A big thank you to Derek Kinkade and WTVM!
