Highways Maui District had an awesome time hanging out with the 3rd graders at Makawao Elementary on March 9! We brought our stormwater science kits to the classroom for four interactive sessions, showing 94 bright students how water flows through our Upcountry landscape.

The real stars of the day were the EnviroScape and Storm Drain models. Students got to see exactly how rainwater can sweep up pollutants from our streets and yards, carrying them on a direct trip down to the ocean. To wrap things up, we also dove into our BMP flashcard activity, where the kids shared great ideas on how to stop pollution at the source, like keeping our neighborhoods clean and making sure only rain goes down the drain.

A huge mahalo to the Makawao Elementary 3rd grade for being such an engaged and curious group!
