Help Me Stay Hydrated While Playing My Sport

Help me give my students the resources needed to stay hydrated during various sports seasons.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Gibbs's classroom raised $279

My Project

As a track coach in my urban school, I need some equipment to help my runners and jumpers. Where we live, the spring track season can be anywhere from very cold to fairly hot.

My track kids need to stay hydrated to perform their best during a track meet.

The water jug could be used by other coaches in the school to help students playing other sports.

The tape measure will assist the coaches in accurately measuring the appropriate distances for 400 meters. This would let my runners and jumpers know the distance they will be running so they can Go The Distance.
