Students from Melisa Green’s third-grade class at Adair Elementary School paid a visit to Northeast Oklahoma Electric Cooperative on May 11. The students toured the facility and visited with several em- ployees to learn more about the responsibilities involved with working at an electric cooperative. The students conducted a mock board meeting and also enjoyed pizza for lunch on the lawn.
