My Project

I work as a school nurse at a STEM school. Our learners often get so busy with their awesome projects that they forget to take breaks and drink water. I frequently have learners missing class to come into the clinic with headaches because of this.

These water bottles will be handed out to the learners who need them to stay hydrated and healthy and in class learning where they belong.

The Sharpie markers will help them to identify which ones are theirs and the stickers will help them to personalize them so they want to keep them near them. The kids will get one for themselves and they can give one to someone else to promote community service.

I'm always trying to promote positivity for the mental health of the middle schoolers so I have added two motivational posters as well.
