‘The Hawai‘i Watershed Experience’
Kapa‘a Elementary School
Healthy Hawai‘i Coalition
The Healthy Hawai‘i Coalition presented its popular elementary-school program on Kaua‘i last week. On May 11 some 136 fourth-grade students from Kapa‘a Elementary were treated to a humorous skit starring Oily Al and WaterWoman and their confrontations over pollution in their watershed. Keiki participated in hands-on activities and enjoyed learning about water testing, erosion, non-point source pollution and cleaning up rubbish that could have ended up polluting the fishponds or ocean. HHC has presented this specialized curriculum to over 4,500 students in Hawai‘i schools. The focus of the program is to teach students about watersheds, the Hawaiian concept of ahupua‘a, preventing water pollution and encouraging land and water stewardship. HHC’s watershed program can be requested at Kaua‘i elementary schools by calling 1-808-778-4243.
