My Project

Proper hydration is key to staying focused and energized throughout the school day, but many students don’t have access to clean, reusable water bottles. For some, it’s simply not affordable to purchase one, and without a water bottle, students are left to navigate their school day feeling thirsty and distracted. This project aims to provide each student with a reusable water bottle, ensuring they can stay hydrated, healthy, and ready to learn.

Research shows that staying hydrated improves concentration, cognitive function, and overall well-being.

However, many of our students come to school without a reliable way to drink water throughout the day, whether due to financial constraints or a lack of access to water bottles. By providing these bottles, we’ll ensure every student can stay hydrated without interruption, supporting their health, focus, and ability to learn.

A water bottle isn’t just about hydration; it’s about providing students with the tools they need to succeed. When students have access to water during the school day, they are more likely to stay engaged in their lessons and participate in class activities.
