Back to school: Class is always in session at Cumberland Valley Electric

When I was a kid, there was nothing better than summer break—warm weather, swimming, family cookouts and long, lazy days. But as much as I loved break, there was something exciting about going back to school, too. I looked forward to seeing friends and moving into a new grade—and as I grew older, I learned to enjoy the challenge of learning something new.

This month, Kentucky kids from kindergarten through high school will head back to the classroom. Others will enroll in college or technical training programs, and still others will pursue advanced degrees or certifications. Back-to-school month is an annual reminder that learning should never stop—and that it’s good for all of us, at any age.
Cumberland Valley Electric supports education throughout our communities.

Through your Kentucky Living magazine, Cumberland Valley Electric offers educational material for all ages, even those of us who, like me, might not have been in the classroom in a long time. We strive to keep you up to date on issues affecting your electric service, and we also communicate regularly about business matters so that you understand how your cooperative is working on your behalf.

At Cumberland Valley Electric, we know that a learner’s mindset can even save lives, especially when it comes to electricity. Our dedicated lineworkers constantly improve their skills as part of our safety culture. Continual learning helps ensure safe and reliable service for our consumer-members—and it also helps ensure that our hardworking crews come home safe. This commitment goes beyond the job, too, as we offer tips in Kentucky Living and on our social media channels to help you and your loved ones stay safe.

Education is part of our mission at Cumberland Valley Electric, and we’re honored to support many kinds of learning for all ages. Wherever you are in your educational journey, I hope you find time to learn something new this month.
