Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our school encourages all students to use a refillable water bottle. Unfortunately, many students are losing or breaking their refillable water bottles, and some parents cannot afford replacements. I would like to give all third-grade students a water bottle to use at school to stay hydrated.

Having a refillable water bottle allows students to stay hydrated which increases their readiness to learn.

According to the CDC students having refillable water bottles, "helps to increase students' overall water consumption, maintain hydration, and reduce energy intake if substituted for sugar-sweetened beverages. Adequate hydration also may improve cognitive function in children and adolescents."

Thank you for supporting our students.
