Have local news clippings from any water quality issues making the headlines in your area. Anyone participating in the luncheon will be provided with dessert and soda. Each student should bring washable utensils, food storage dishes, a washable cup for soda, a washable napkin, and reusable bags. The soda bottles provided for the event will be washed and recycled for a science activity on a later date. Request permission from proper local authorities.
Locate storm drains near the school to be painted.
Arrange for volunteers to accompany the students. Make a map of the specified drains with their locations in relation to the school. Finally, ask a local hardware store to donate cans of spray paint. Have the students tape a newspaper frame around the stencil to prevent stray paint from getting on the concrete. Give the map of the storm drains to the volunteer with the 4 sites for that group clearly highlighted.
