⚡ Our 2nd annual Energy Day at Shawnee Heights Elementary was a power-full success!
This year, 4th-grade students from all four elementary schools joined in for hands-on sessions led by real energy pros. From learning about nuclear power with Wolf Creek, exploring coal energy with Jeffries Energy Center, discovering power line safety with Evergy linemen, to flying drones (and meeting the drone dog!) with Evergy’s unmanned systems team. It was a day packed with curiosity, questions, and tons of STEM fun.
A huge thank-you to all the presenters who brought energy to life for our students! 💡⚙️ #EnergyDay2025 #STEM

Thank you for your flexibility and support. Please stay safe and warm; we look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
