Kids Take the Driver's Seat
Students at Roosevelt Elementary School in Scottsbluff got an up-close look at big machines on Monday.
Employees from Simon, a regional construction and materials company, brought a dump truck, a loader, and a concrete mixing truck for students to check out and climb into.
- Students learned safety measures around the big equipment, including not to run on work sites.
- They learned about the importance of protective gear like hard hats and high-visibility vests.
- Students also learned to be patient if asked to wait behind caution tape or traffic cones.
Regional employees presented students with their own hard hats to wear while viewing the construction equipment.
Roosevelt students received a unique educational experience, and Chomper the T.rex, mascot for Simon, was also in attendance.
