Helping Athletes Stay Hydrated!

Help me give my students, who are athletes, water bottles to use during games and practice!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Jones's classroom raised $821

This project is fully funded

My Project

I work with the athletic teams. It is important that they have access to water during their games and practices to ensure they stay hydrated. These water bottles will be used to supply water for student-athletes at their games whether they are away or home. And especially during practices - to ensure they do not get dehydrated and have access to water. It is important to teach athletes to drink water to stay healthy and having these water bottles will allow us to support them and ensure they are partaking in healthy activities.
