My Project

My students come from low income homes which can often impact their education. They do not always have the supplies and resources they need to be as successful as they possibly can. Often they come to school with no food, an empty backpack, and no water bottle. While a water bottle with their name on it is not what you think of when you think of essential school supplies, it really is.

Students need to be safe while hydrating, which is where the Cricut to create name labels comes in.

Often I have students take the disposable water bottle that I have given another student because there is no name on it.

Please help my students focus after P. E. and recess. If they’re dehydrated, they cannot learn as well as they could if their needs are met.

Thank you!
