Severe Weather Awareness contest winner
Stuart McAfee, a fourth grade student at St. Mark’s Episcopal Day School, was a regional poster winner in the Severe Weather Awareness Week contest, sponsored by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. More than 1,000 students in the state participated in the opportunity to learn what they can do to be prepared for hazards that affect their communities.
Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll presented Stuart with a certificate and an iPod on Feb. 12 and was joined by FDEM Director Bryan Koon, FDEM meteorologists, the American Red Cross, the National Weather Service and special guest Professor Nimbus Tinkermeister, who engaged the class in weather games.
