| SLURRP-Schoolyard Stewards The School Leadership in Urban Runoff Reduction (SLURRP)-Schoolyard Stewards Program is a project- based learning experience for students in the Washington, DC public middle schools that is centered on the question, "What is stormwater runoff pollution, and how can we prevent it?" Through the program - a joint project offered by Living Classrooms of the National Capital Region, Casey Trees Endowment, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - students become "Schoolyard Stewards" as they work in their own neighborhoods and schoolyards to investigate this important urban environmental issue, examine their own attitudes and behaviors, and seek solutions to this problem. Schoolyard Stewards staff members join teachers in a cooperative effort to bring science curriculum to life through a series of programs for each classroom. Activities may include: neighborhood trash reduction, storm drain marking, rain barrel creation and implementation, school recycling programs, installation of bike racks and trash cans, community outreach, schoolyard greening, and a field trip on the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers aboard the historic Chesapeake Bay buyboat Half Shell.
