Water To The Rescue!

Help me give my students refreshing drinking water and snack throughout the school day.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Thomas's classroom raised $173

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are curious, energetic, and have a strong desire of interest in learning the history of the United States to the present. Their enthusiasm is profound and growing day by day. I love how I can connect my students with present-day events to events that occurred 100 years ago.

It has been overwhelming for my students to endure yet another boil water alert and not having any water pressure at school or at their homes.

Therefore, it means a lot to me to give just a little relief for them; by providing refreshing water to drink throughout the school day. It may not seem much to some, but it truly means a great deal to me and my students.
