We want every student to stay hydrated and ready to learn! This year, we’re asking families to send clear, plastic water bottles with secure lids to school each day.
Why water? Because it helps students stay alert, healthy, and focused—without the mess of sugary drinks or spills.
Let’s fuel our brains with water!
