My Project

Students often come to my class and ask for something to drink. Not having operable water fountains has proven to be an extraordinary inconvenience for students. I often share bottles of water and drink pouches with our students, because many students do not have money to purchase drinks from the vending machines.

Help me to make sure that my students who are in need of something to drink will have Gatorade, Red Bull, Celsius or other drinks to stay hydrated.

Some students are on campus the entire day without anything to drink. I'm grateful that students feel comfortable enough to ask me for something to drink.
