Latino and all kids deserve all-day access to safe, clean water at school!
Water Bottle Fountains are filtered water dispensers for easily filling and refilling water bottles.
Water Bottle Fountains can replace or upgrade existing classic water fountains. And they can increase students’ consumption of water and reduce consumption of sugary drinks throughout the school day. This helps promote a healthy weight and healthy mind. Hydration Stations also can help save money from buying bottled water, and saves those bottles from landfills!
Unfortunately, many local schools don’t have Water Bottle Fountains.

Dear school leaders:
I strongly support adding Water Bottle Fountains to our school(s).
Research shows daily water consumption decreases consumption of sugary drinks, prevents cavities, and decreases risk of dehydration and its issues with concentration and short-term memory.
Sadly, many kids lack access to water or perceive classic water fountains as unsafe.
As a supporter of local schools, I urge you to add Water Bottle Fountains to promote access to water throughout the school day, which can boost hydration for fitness and academic performance, promote good oral health, save families money from buying bottled water, and reduce waste.
Sincerely,
A Supporter of Schools and Students
Thank you for taking action on Water Bottle Fountains!
