Local Students will Get Charged!

St. Joseph Catholic School of Zell, along with 17 other area schools, received complimentary Get Charged! Kits from Citizens Electric. These instruction materials were created by Touchstone Energy in partnership with the Discovery Channel School to support schools' science curriculum for the study of electricity.

This kit is correlated to National Science Education Standards and is designed specifically for middle/junior high school students and teachers. It contains a classroom poster, videos, a CD-ROM, lesson plan, activity books and teacher's resource guide. The program offers a real world understanding of the power and purpose of electricity and includes information about the important role electric cooperatives played in lighting up rural America.
