Water Bottles

Water Bottle Information

Dear Parents,

Thank you so much for teaming up with us to promote healthy habits for your children and our planet!  We have had a few waters bottles break and would like to encourage you to send students to school with metal or plastic water bottles that have sturdy caps or straws.  Please remember that the only liquid that should be in their water bottles is water.  Gatorade, Powerade, Lemonade, Soda, Soft Drinks, Juice, Tea, Coffee, etc can be consumed at home, at school we want our minds to be feed with knowledge and nutrients that do not cause distraction for our fourth graders.  

Thank you for support in our students future!
