My Project

My preschool students need safe water to drink. We are in an old building and our faucet pipes have lead in them. I would like the children to have safe water to drink and bake with.

Clean water is a must as I am trying to promote healthy habits in my students.

Hydration is so important but I would feel more comfortable giving students access to my sinks if they had a purifier installed on them.

Water is used daily in our classroom for washing hands, playing, and cooking. Not only is a water source used during and after cooking, I frequently have students who ask for drinking water after activities and during meals in our classroom. These purifiers and their refills will be utilized every single day!
