"I see the growth, and I see the impact. The rewards are great. If you find your place, your spot, your classroom, I mean you could do it forever."

With the help of local power supply companies, we've launched the Literacy Powerhouse initiative to spark an interest in reading among our younger students. Volunteers from Santee Cooper and Berkeley Electric Cooperative visited five of our elementary schools this week to read “Light Up the World: When I Grow Up I Want to Be a Lineman,” which they then donated to the school. #makingapositivedifference #childrensliteracy #publiceducation #communityoutreach #berkeleycountysc #skilledtrades
