The warm weather at my students' school can be quite distracting at times. Hot, flushed faces clamor into my classroom, ready to learn but needing to cool off. If my young scholars could drink cool fresh water when the temperatures rise, it would refresh not only their bodies but their minds. A water dispenser in my classroom will allow me to provide a free refreshment alternative to the cold drinks being sold in vending machines. Both students and teachers would benefit from the healthy aspects of cool water, and then, students could concentrate on their academic pursuits free from distraction.
