Water Bottles to Stay Hydrated in School

Help me give my students water bottles to drink in class and during physical education time. We also need juice boxes and fruit punch.

My Project

My students often come to school with nothing to drink and we are unable to use our water fountains due to a safety hazard.

Please help me stock my classroom with water and juice.

Hydration is a necessity. With individual student water bottles, they will have access throughout the day!

Research indicates that your brain is mostly water so drinking it helps improve concentration and cognition as well as help to balance mood and emotions.

With new classroom routines implemented, instruction will be much smoother if each student has their own water bottle and holder. Having a water bottle within reach encourages students to drink more water. Think of all the health benefits that occur when water is readily available!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
