Conners Elementary

• Storm Drain Stenciling: Spring Storm Drain Stenciling is the joint effort of 3rd graders and high school students to educate the community about storm drain water runoff.  Unlike many towns in the U.S., MDI storm water drains directly to our bays without any treatment or filtering system.  These students stencil drains on public roads and provide witnesses and pedestrians with informational materials related to reducing pollutants in our storm water.
