Hydrated While At Play!!

Help me give my students each a water bottle to stay hydrated while playing outside.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gowdy's classroom raised $285

My Project

Please help my students stay hydrated while they are outside playing. Would like for each one of my students to have a water bottle so when we are outside they can get water when they want. Children need a lot of energy for the many activities they carry out during the day. Since water makes up 60 percent of the total body weight and 90 percent of the brain weight, hydrating makes sense.

Children between the ages of one year and twelve years are often highly active and need to stay hydrated to stay active.

One of the most important things to provide for an active child is water. Keeping them hydrated should always be a priority. Please help me provide water bottles to keep my kids hydrated.
