SOUTHERN COLORADO (KOAA) — On Wednesday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited Goodnight Elementary School to speak with kindergartners about weather safety.
These students were so excited to have Lauren visit and they loved sharing their personal experiences that they have had with the weather. Some of the questions they asked were "Which seasons do we see hail?" and "How do tornadoes form?"
At the very end they gave Lauren personalized thank you notes, and expressed how grateful they were that she visited.
Later in the day, Lauren visited James Irwin Elementary School in Colorado Springs to talk with more kindergartners.

They loved watching the videos of different weather events around Colorado Springs. They especially loved the video of the flash flooding near Manitou Springs. Their teachers have done such a great job with teaching them everything that they know!
