My students often come to school for their basic needs to be met, along side their educational goals. When I saw majority of my students don't have the essential of a water bottle and were growing lethargic throughout the day, I knew something needed to be done.\r\n\r\nWhen I received the water bottles, I immediately unpacked them and washed them. The next day I had each student pick their color and I wrote their name on them. Each morning they come in and refresh their water to have throughout the day. When I showed them the water bottles, they lit up and one even came to me and said, \"do I have to share?\" and when I said \"no\", they said \"it's mine?\" Just a small water bottle has allowed my student to have ownership of something.\r\n\r\nYou know when a plant is wilting and you put water in it and come back a few hours later to a perked up plant? That is exactly what my students did. They are ready to grow their brains especially when all their basic needs are met including water. So again, thank you for your donation.
