My Project

My students are in need of a new water cooler. My school does not have drinkable water water fountains but we do have water coolers. The closest water cooler from the gym is around the corner but the students are out of sight when they go to get water.

This water cooler would be placed in the gym so that I would not have to send my students by themselves around the corner to get water.

I want to be able to see the students while they get water, especially the younger ones. The water cooler will help the students stay hydrated, especially in the warmer weather. Our school does not have air conditioning so keeping their hydrated is a must during physical education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
