Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our middle schoolers play hard in PE and during recess, and they work hard in their classes, but most don't drink enough water! Why is that? They often say that the water "tastes bad" or "it's too warm." Help us bring the gift of cold, refreshing filtered water to our middle school in order to improve hydration and overall physical wellbeing of our middle school students.

Our students need access to a refreshing, cool water hydration refill station and water fountain in order to be properly hydrated so that their brains and bodies are working to their maximum potential.

They are learning about taking care of their bodies in health class and proper hydration is an important part of physical and mental wellbeing. We currently have 3 water refill stations throughout the building, but the water is always room temperature and cloudy, so students are reluctant to drink water between classes. Many bring disposable water bottles and drink those, however, that is not a sustainable solution because it creates landfill waste.

By helping us provide students with access to a clean, cool source of water throughout the day, we can promote the use of reusable water bottles and encourage students to properly hydrate throughout the day. Students will be excited to get fresh water, and will thus be able to better focus and will engage better in their classes.
