Powerade for All

Help me give my students in ESS Powerade to have during the school day.

My Project

Students often come to my class and ask for something to drink. Not having funds for the vending machine has proven to be an extraordinary inconvenience for students. I often share my Powerade with our students, because many students do not have money to purchase drinks from the vending machines.

Help me to make sure that my students in need of a drink will have a Powerade to stay hydrated.

Some students are on campus the entire day without anything to drink. I'm grateful that students feel comfortable enough to ask me for something to drink.
