A Jolt of Magic Teaches Students About Electrical Safety

A jolt of magic teaches students about electrical safety

Students at two local elementary schools got an interesting lesson in electrical safety recently. However, unlike traditional lecture style lessons, this presentation was of a magical variety. Using magic tricks and comedy to hold the students attention, Magician Scott Davis presented his Making Accidents Disappear program to students at Holly Springs Elementary and Ambler Elementary schools.

“There is no performing art that is more universally loved among children than magic. I’m excited that Blue Ridge Electric Co-op decided to sponsor this program in area elementary schools. Teaching electrical safety in a way that is memorable and fun for the students is a real passion of mine.” Davis noted. 

Donna Harden, principal at Holly Springs Elementary said, “What a wonderful treat to have the “Making Accidents Disappear” assembly at our school. Thank you to Blue Ridge Electric Co-op for bringing this experience to our children. All faculty and staff were amazed with the presentation and the children loved it as well. They were able to learn many things about electrical safety in and around their homes. Thank you, Blue Ridge, for this wonderful opportunity!”

Ambler principal, Dr. Carlton Lewis, also expressed “Thanks to Blue Ridge Electric for providing such an informative and entertaining program to our Ambler students. We enjoyed it very much.”

“At Blue Ridge Electric Co-op we’re totally committed to doing everything in our power to prevent accident related injuries and deaths among children in our community. A commitment to community and education is one of the things that make rural electric cooperatives different. That’s something our members can be proud of,” said Liza Holder, Marketing Representative at Blue Ridge.
