Another successful season of  Stormwater Trooper school assemblies has come to a close. Throughout the academic year, MRWG visited eight schools and conducted 18 assemblies to 4,954 students throughout the High Desert. Interactive assemblies with the Victor Valley Animal Protective League and ambassador dog Millie the Corgi teach students why water protection is important, how urban runoff pollutes the Mojave River and its watershed, and stormwater-smart behaviors like picking up after your pet. Accountability and personal responsibility are values taught to students who take the pledge to become Stormwater Troopers. What's more, the MRWG school outreach team provided stormwater curriculum and students prizes to 167 classrooms and coordinated campus clean ups for three schools.
