Drink Water First

The Drink Water First campaign promotes drinking water to fuel your body instead of juice, soda and sports drinks. This program encourages drinking water for better health and educates our students on healthy beverage choices, such as water for thirst and milk with meals. 

Children who eat regular nutritious meals, drink water when they are thirsty, and sleep well at night will have energy for sports and activities, and will be better prepared to learn. 

Studies have shown that increasing water consumption is beneficial for a student's health and well‐being and can positively impact academic performance. 

Drink Water First campaign materials promote positive messages about the benefits of drinking water. Materials include handouts for parents, posters for classrooms and school hallways, a water bottle logo and a standing banner listing the Top Ten Reasons to Drink Water.
