My Project
As many have seen on the national news, Jackson, Mississippi is facing a water crisis. After weeks of flooding, many of our student's families were left without access to potable water. Students are also unable to drink water from the fountains at school.
I would like to provide my students with plenty of cold, clean water bottles in order to keep them safe and healthy throughout the school day.
With access to their own mini fridge, my students will be able to have a refreshing bottle of water whenever they need it. My softball athletes will also enjoy these water bottles when we begin our training.
Although we would like our students to drink more water, some do not like the taste. The various options of flavor enhancers will entice my students into staying hydrated.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
