In 7th grade Science class, students learn about the impact humans can have on the storm drainage system. To continue this study, students could elect to use PRIDE class time to participate in the Downtown Storm Drain Art Project. Five students in Ms. Miller's science classes submitted artwork to the City of Sioux Falls. Sophia's artwork, "Bee Kind," was chosen, and this summer she painted the storm drain at the corner of 6th and Indiana. #WhittierPride
