NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – A Nashville non-profit is helping to keep some Metro Nashville students hydrated safely while they’re in school during the pandemic.
The group delivered over 300 PH9 bottles to the elementary school.
Hydrate the Hood partnered with an educator at Napier Elementary. The goal was to make sure while in the middle of the pandemic, kids at this school have clean water to drink.
“Instead of them drinking straight out of the water fountain, they can just use this cup, put water in it, shake it up and it will turn into alkaline water and they can drink on the go,” said Michael Frazier, outreach director for Hydrate The Hood.
Educators said the improved water will make a difference.
“Alkaline water is a higher PH which means you have more oxygen to your body,’ said Frazier. “Over 70% of our body is water, so the more hydrated our students are, the more they can absorb the curriculum,” said Peek. The non-profit also gave 60 bottles to faculty members. The plan is to donate more bottles to schools and the community.
Napier’s principal says kids in the building will get a bottle and they’ll be able to send some to kids at home.
