Help me give my students new water bottles and tumbler cups for the next school year.

My Project

Please help me provide my students new water bottles and tumbler cups for the 2025-2026 school year. The students are often thirsty throughout the school day and we try to minimize them missing class time by constantly leaving the room for a water break.

The students having water bottles they can fill in the morning help them remain on task during the school day.

Most of the students in our program have attention needs and a hard time remaining focused during the day. The students having water bottles or cups on their desks will eliminate one of the distractions for them and allow them to remain hydrated throughout the day.
