Lake Region Electric Cooperative’s Youth Tour Coordinator, JuaNita Keener, has begun visiting high schools throughout the cooperative’s service territory to share an exciting opportunity with local students.
Juanita Keener and Kristen Mallett from Lake Region Electric Cooperative had the pleasure of attending the Women in Business event hosted by the Wagoner Area Chamber of Commerce at Blue Sky Bank.
Lake Region Electric Cooperative was honored to take part in the After-School Lights On Literacy event, hosted by Grand View School and the Boys & Girls Club of Tahlequah. The event brought students together for an afternoon of reading, learning, and fun. LREC Lineman Trent Elliott read Cat and Duck Electric Safety, written and illustrated by Patrick Wood, to the students. Beyond reading, Trent took time to teach students important safety tips, including what to do if they ever encounter a downed power line.
Help your teen stay safe behind the wheel — and around electricity. If they’re in an accident involving a power pole: ✅ Stay in the vehicle and call 911. ✅ Warn others to stay at least 50 feet away. ✅ Remember — power lines don’t have to spark or move to be dangerous. Always assume they’re energized.
Lake Region Electric Cooperative was excited to welcome nearly 150 students, parents, and teachers from Wagoner Public Schools’ enrichment group for a morning packed with learning and hands-on fun! Students in grades 3–5 had the opportunity to explore both the conveniences and safety considerations of electricity.

Thank you to Hulbert High School for hosting such a fantastic event—we’re proud to be a part of it!
