Safe and Hydrated with their Customized Water Bottles

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

It is important for the students to be hydrated throughout the day. I always allowed my students to bring a water bottle to school but not all of my students have one. I have asked for a water bottle per student. With this project I will ensure all students have access to a water bottle in the classroom. I also asked for different color vinyls to write my student's name on each water bottle. The students will be able to stay hydrated without having to leave the classroom.

Thank you for supporting my students!
