We are having an issue with disposable water bottles in our classroom. Students are not being responsible for their water bottles and most just get left on the floor, still full at the end of the day.

From now forward, please only send in reusable water bottles. Dollar Tree has a great selection just in time for summer!

Thank you!

Mrs. Brady
