Our #waterfirstforthirst audits to assess the state of water access and fountain function in schools and recreation centers are complete. A summary of school assessments, completed in partnership with the Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods, can be found here. More details to come…
Moving forward, we will be working with Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) and others to address gaps in access. We'll also be promoting drinking water as the first choice for hydration. A huge thanks to Dwellworks, who will be sponsoring an art/slogan competition entitled "Why I drink water" among students in two CMSD schools. Don’t forget to take our Water First for Thirst pledge to make water your FIRST choice for hydration!
