My Project

One basic need that students have is hydration. Usually students could just go out to the water fountain and drink what they wanted, or they could go get water from a pitcher on the snack table. This year students will not be able to do that. We need personal disposable water bottles for each student.

Having water bottles gives students what they need to stay hydrated.

Your donations will help get just that for our students, a way to safely stay hydrated, all while growing their brains. Meeting basic needs of students is key to empowering students on their journey to complete future endeavors.
