KMPH news anchor Kopi Sotiropulos payed a visit to FC., Thursday April 10. At 11 a.m., elementary students gathered on the athletic field bleachers to film the ten day weather forecast and Great Day faces.

Students lined on the bleachers to wake up KMPH with a good morning greeting. After some fun stretches, kids gathered on the field to show off their great day faces with their classes.

Kopi then visited Cheri Fraser’s third grade classroom to talk to the students about the importance of a good education and staying away from negative influences.

“Even though they are so young, it is important for them to hear this message,” Sotiropulos said. “Sometimes kids hear this message from their parents it goes in one ear and out the other, but they pay attention when it’s someone else warning them.”

After telling the kids the importance of reading, Sotiropulos taught the students a bit about climate. After his short lesson, he let the kids ask him some questions about his work as a forecaster.

The kids were excited about their time spent with Kopi and the lessons they learned. Along with the children, Kopi reports that he enjoyed his time working with the students, as well as working with some of The Feather staffers.

“I had a great time,” Sotiropulos said. “I’m very impressed with the staff and the students, it was all just wonderful.”
