Hydration Motivation!

Help me give my students water bottles to ensure they stay hydrated and motivated!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. La Tarte's classroom raised $245

This project is fully funded

My Project

Middle school can be tough, and we know that staying hydrated helps students stay motivated and on task.

By having water bottles in the classroom, we increase the chances for students to stay in the classroom, keeping them on task and learning so that any time they need a drink they simply need to look to the corner of their desk!

By keeping them on task, we keep them on track, and even something as simple as a water bottle has the power to ensure students be the best versions of themselves.
