My Project

Students often come to my class and ask for something to drink. They know that I usually have Gatorade, Capri Sun, or Celsius. Not having funds to buy drinks has proven to be an extraordinary inconvenience for students. I often share drinks with our students because many students do not have money to purchase drinks from the vending machines.

Help me to make sure that students in need have refreshing drinks to stay hydrated at school.

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.
