Whether you are dreading it or have been counting down the days, the return to school is near. After a summer off, there can be a lot to 

prepare before the first day of class. And this includes getting school supplies and making sure your student’s immunizations are up to date. Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) partners with organizations in our local communities, such as Fort Wayne’s Super Shot, to help students prepare for the upcoming year - and show them more about what our team does.

To help families get some of their to-do list accomplished in one stop, Super Shot hosted families needing required back-to-school immunizations at an event to kick off the start of the upcoming school year. The July 31 event, sponsored by I&M, featured a bucket truck from our fleet parked for a touch-a-truck experience. Those attending also got to put on some of the gear our lineworkers wear and hop inside the bucket of a truck. 

The first 100 children to receive their vaccinations at the event could also claim their free backpack with school supplies, provided by Super Shot and the I&M Foundation.
