Hydration Happiness

Help me give my students drinks to stay hydrated in our non-air conditioned school.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Focht's classroom raised $198

This project is fully funded

My Project

Hydration and healthy choices are so important.

Help keep my students hydrated so they can focus on learning and not the heat of our non air conditioned school!

These drinks will be available for my students throughout they day in order to keep them hydrated and focused during learning. Our school is not air conditioned and there are limited windows in classrooms. The first couple months are hot and muggy. I want to ensure my scholars stay hydrated so they can focus on learning and not get sick. This project is so important for my scholars.
