My Project

I teach in a Title 1 school that consists of culturally and linguistically diverse students within a low socioeconomic community. Most of our students are special education students that have been diagnosed with various exceptionalities including learning difficulties, speech impairments, ADHD, Autism, and sensory issues.

Staying hydrated helps teachers teach more effectively and helps students to stay focused and learn!

Children need to stay hydrated in order to be able to focus and learn. Most of the water fountains within my school do not work, and those that do are not clean. Please help me provide our students and teachers with clean, healthy water throughout the day.

Most of my students come to school without clean bottled water, and are forced to drink from these fountains!

Can you imagine how excited and hydrated our students and teachers will be to have a water fountain with clean water?

Please make it possible for us to have clean, healthy water in the school!
