The Mr. Funnelhead Show

The Mr. Funnelhead Show travels to 25 schools throughout Contra Costa County. Since the program’s beginning in 1996, Mr. Funnelhead has educated over 120,000 second, third, fourth and fifth grade students about the importance of storm drain pollution and the recycling of used motor oil and filters.

Each one of the forty-minute skits stars Mr. Funnelhead, a lovable, grime-fighting superhero who entertains while he teaches students about the proper recycling of used motor oil and storm drain pollution.  Along the way, Mr. Funnelhead encounters different characters improperly disposing used motor oil.  The shows include a state of the art sound system, lights, special effects and quality actors.
