My Project

Water Bottles for a Healthy Lifestyle is a project to provide inexpensive water bottles for a large number of students in our school. We have a number or bottle refilling stations, but very few students carry refillable bottles and we do NOT have vending machines in our school.

Help us provide refillable water bottles for 100+ students.

Having refillable water bottles will help students develop a healthy lifestyle, reduce waste, as well as reducing time outside of class by going to the fountain every time they need to drink. The project includes a variety of bottles in different styles and colors and stickers to use to personalize them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
