My Project

My students are passionate, curious, and eager to learn, but staying hydrated and energized can be a challenge. Our school doesn’t allow personal water bottles, and the water fountain isn’t functional, leaving my students without easy access to water during the day.

With this project, I aim to provide bottled water and healthy snacks to keep my students focused and engaged, especially during long lessons or group projects.

Staying hydrated and having access to quick nourishment will help them maintain their energy levels and fully participate in class activities.

My students are resilient and dedicated to learning, often going above and beyond despite challenges. These simple resources will make a significant difference in their daily experience, ensuring they can stay comfortable and ready to succeed. Thank you for helping me support these incredible scholars!
