My Students

When you walk in a convenience store, how many healthy drink choices are there? Most of them are sugary, and many are carbonated. When properly hydrated, all of your body systems work better. Help me "FEED USA" and keep my class hydrated and focused on our work by supporting this project.

August is always a time of anxiety and frustration swirled with excitement as kids and parents in our community prepare for back to school.

The cost associated with uniforms, supplies, and shoes is overwhelming for many of the students in our district. At my school we are able to provide a safe, comfortable learning environment where everyone's ideas are met with respect and basic needs get met. These hydration bottles are another step to increasing the comfort level and functionality of my classroom.

My Project

Playing outside at recess every day can sure get hot in our region of the country. Many times students ask to go in and get some water. These bottles would allow us to have water with us while we are playing outside and in the gymnasium with coach. Providing the water bottles is also a time saver for the class since we won't need water breaks. And, it helps kids understand that their needs will be met in the safest, most efficient way possible.

These bottles will allow us to keep water with us while we are on the playground, on the field, and in the gymnasium getting our daily exercise.

The hand towels will give us an eco-friendly way to get our hands dry at the classroom sink.
