My husband, Justin, came for a PIE visit today.  He works for the City of Storm Lake.  He was here to speak to all 2nd grade classes about storm water. 



We started with Jose the fish, he was clean and placed in a clean jar of clean water.  Students participated as different items were added to simulate soapy water from a car wash, dog mess, oil, toxic waste.  As you can see poor Jose's water got dirtier and dirtier!

Students wrote about this and decided that they want to work hard to keep our beautiful lake clean and healthy for them to swim in and the fish too!

Following the clean water demonstration, each student was able to make a rain stick! Mayra and Jennifer from City Hall were here to help students remember to keep that water clean as it makes its' way to the lake!  Thanks ladies for the fun project!
