One meaningful way to honor these values is by ensuring every student has access to a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nMany of my students come to school without a personal water bottle or rely on disposable cups that are not always available. By providing each student with their own reusable water bottle, we can promote healthy habits, focus, and sustainability—values that align beautifully with Lunar New Year traditions.\r\n\r\nHydration plays a critical role in student learning, attention, and emotional regulation. For many students, having a personal water bottle removes barriers and helps them feel confident and cared for at school.\r\n\r\nThis project supports equity by ensuring all students—regardless of their circumstances—have the tools they need to succeed.
