Hydration Is Key

Help me give my students water bottles and a mini fridge to keep their water cold.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Young's classroom raised $886

My Project

As we all know, Jackson, Mississippi has recently experienced a water crisis. Although the boil water notice has been lifted, the tap water in the city of Jackson is not what we prefer our students to drink. Additionally, our school water fountains are out of service to keep our students safe.

With these 8-ounce water bottles, our students can have a drink of water without wasting it as they do with the larger bottles.

The mini fridge will be used exclusively for students to keep their water bottles cold and fresh. The water flavor packets will encourage our students to stay hydrated since they do not always like to drink plain water.

When our students are hydrated, they are better able to learn and can focus on their schoolwork.
