Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Please help me give my students water bottles so they can drink water without worrying. We often forget to hydrate. Many of my students are not getting the recommended intake of fluids throughout the day.

Students can't get a drink of water out of our water fountains in fear of getting sick.

The idea is to stop the spread of COVID, flu and colds during school. The downside is it makes getting a drink of water almost impossible without a water bottles.

Please help me give my students a water bottles to use during the school day so they can get a drink of water.
