Tinc Road was on the air!

When Laura Iacampo’s cell phone rang with an unfamiliar number on the caller ID, the second grade teacher did the wildest thing. She answered it.
 
“I know your voice,” she said after the caller introduced himself. “You don’t even have to say who this is.”
 
On the other end of the phone was John Elliott, WCBS-NY’s veteran meteorologist. Just a few days before, Iacampo had seen a promo putting out a call for classes interested in a visit to learn about weather and weather forecasting. She filled out the online form, expecting to hear back “next [school] year or maybe in September at the earliest.”
 
Nope. Elliott wanted to come the very next week. After settling on the date, the two discussed the details of his presentation to her kids. He would customize it to meet their interests and the science curriculum.
 
The following Tuesday, Elliott, his cameraman Al Lesner, and the CBS mobile weather lab came to Tinc Road. Elliott spoke with four classes about dangerous weather, low and high pressure systems, the science of forecasting, and the best ways to stay safe in extreme weather. Then the students went outside for a tour of the weather lab.
 
The segment on Elliott’s lesson and the visit aired on Thursday, two days later. That Saturday, the segment ran again with an intro by Cindy Hsu. Elliott and Hsu discussed the FM amplification system that Iacampo uses in her classroom for students who have hearing difficulties.
