Bleyl MS students help promote water conservation

Posted March 23, 2009
A pair of Bleyl Middle School students were selected to appear in a series of web-based “Kid Vids”—water conservation videos produced by the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA).
Eighth-grade students Kelly Robinson and Patrick McMillan will be the main actors in the videos on the NHCRWA website, nhcrwa.com. To view their first video, “Protecting Our Water Supply…”, go to the
“Conservation” tab and click “Videos.”
Among their on-camera duties, the students will perform live experiments and visit various water plant sites for hands-on learning. According toNHCRWA communications director Barbara Payne, Robinson and McMillan are naturals at their new jobs.
“These two kids were cracker-jack. When we got there to shoot the first video, they virtually did it in the first take,” Payne said. “They had learned their lines and they were great. I’m looking forward to working with them again. They were delightful; they were absolutely prepared to go in front of the camera.”
The two students will attend the upcoming “Healthy Kids Day” at the Cypress Creek Family YMCA (19915 State Hwy. 249) on April 18 to make an appearance and autograph the NHCRWA-sponsored children’s adventure book, “Journey to Pansophigus.”
This week, Bleyl is hosting the NHCRWA Mobile Teaching Lab on campus at 10800 Mills Road—an outdoor trailer that features several interactive exhibits, focusing on where Cy-Fair water comes from; how the community uses it; how it must be protected from pollution; and how the community
can use it more efficiently.
