JR. WATERSHED STEWARDS

• Along with encouraging greater student volunteerism to support local restoration and conservation landscaping, The Jr. Watershed Stewards Club has made a weekly commitment to launch LEAP - the Learning & Exploring Afterschool Program. As a pilot, eight students from Walter Mills Parole Elementary School are being mentored and enriched weekly for two hours on Thursdays, at the Mount Olive Community Life Center. Along with a snack, calisthenics, homework support and tutoring, LEAPERS participate in environmental literacy and other action based science. The Jr. Watersheds’ Program (6-9) features a community teacher leading LEAP volunteers, READY students, and community experts in STREAM programming. (Science, Technology, Research, Environment, Arts and Mathematics).

The Jr. Watershed Stewards Club of Annapolis High School meets bi-weekly to discuss environmental matters and strategies to promote watershed stewardship amongst the AHS student body.
