Sample Newsletter Article The Sippy Scoop Thirsty for Health Promotes Water at School What do all children and teenagers have in common? Along with requiring strong support and compassionate care - they all need water to be healthy! Thirsty for Health is a project originally sponsored by Oral Health Kansas and grant-funded by the Kansas Health Foundation that works to increase the access to and consumption of water throughout each school day. In the coming months, you will see social media initiatives, activities, educational materials coming home in backpacks, and exciting changes at school surrounding the topic of water. One of the most important goals of educators is to teach students how to be healthy and ensure they’re able to learn. This includes good modelling behavior of food and beverages, and encouraging limiting sugary beverages while increasing healthier options like tap water. Based on recent student surveys and studying up on water, Sippy has some great resources and messages to share about the importance of proper hydration. Be on the lookout for Sippy and we look forward to a new school year full of fun, energetic learning and healthy hydration!
