EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — On Wednesday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited eighth graders at Falcon Aerolab School and kindergartners at Foothills Elementary School.
First, she visited eighth grade where they talked about how storms form and why we see certain weather conditions. The students were interested in the day to day life of a meteorologist and what forecasting looks like.
Later in the day, she visited Foothills Elementary School to talk with kindergartners and their wonderful teachers. These bright students were so excited to show off just how much they knew about weather here in Colorado.
They loved seeing the kinds of conditions that we can get here in Colorado.
