I visited with the third-graders at Nichols School in Stratford this week. It was my second Weatherkids program of the year. The kids, teachers, and administrators are always excited when I visit their schools. Nichols School was one of the first schools I visited when Weatherkids began back in the mid 1990s.
"Thank you again for taking the time to visit our classroom and film the live
broadcast and the weather kids," wrote third-grade teacher Janet McSally. "The children have sent you thank you notes that
you should be receiving shortly. We loved the live broadcast. I showed it to
them when they returned from Art. I am sending you the banner in the mail
tomorrow, so you should receive that shortly.
"What a wonderful experience for
all of the children. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit with the children. This was an experience they will cherish forever. We plan on performing The Crooked Man (song) at our whole school assembly in
January."
"I am not surprised to read such glowing remarks about you," wrote News 12 Connecticut's promotions manager Carlos Austin. "Your
commitment to both your work and community is exemplary and it truly shows. Your message is one that resonates with kids and they will remember it
forever. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to educate, entertain
and bring smiles to the faces of so many of our youth. It's appreciated, sir!"
This year, I've taken the program to a higher level by giving the LIVE weather forecast from the classroom at 10:01 and 10:11 a.m. each week. It's a thrill for everybody. Weatherkids is a sponsored franchise of News 12 Connecticut.
