Helping kids problem solve at the Number Four School in Lawrence

Posted

At Lawrence School District’s Number Four School, pre-kindergarteners met with the BeReadyLI Children’s workshop on Feb. 13, a group focusing on the importance of connecting families during times of natural disasters.

The interactive workshop focused on helping the students to understand the importance of being able to identify difficult situations and to problem solve. The presenters helped the children understand basic tactics on preparation for disasters.

Preparation is key before storm events and BeReadyLI Children’s Workshop takes what could be potentially upsetting material and makes it a more fun and interactive learning experience. “The program helps to promote safety, which is PSEG’s highest priority,” Suzanna Brienza, the director of Customer experience at PSEG Long Island, said in a news release.

The workshop was part of a partnership between United Way, 211 Long Island and PSEG Long Island to help families prepare for disasters. For more information, go to www.bereadyli.org and type children’s workshop into the search bar.
