One of the most frequently requested items for students last year was water bottles. Yes, it’s true. Our schools are plumbed for easy filling but plenty of students are lacking their own bottles and unable to access the filling stations. Teachers, Principals, and Family Liaisons have all been looking for more student water bottles. APSF has met some of these needs but not all. This year, thanks to King County and Pierce County Health Departments, over 1000 water bottles have been delivered to APSF and will be available for students at our Back-to-School Event on August 17th. These awesome TEKWELD metal bottles are from the Marijuana Prevention and Education Program at the Washington State Department of Health. They are emblazoned with the “YOU CAN” slogan. Thanks to Linda Graves, Natasha Daily, and Linda Ball for pursuing this collaboration. We are thrilled to be partnering with folks at the Washington State Department of Health for the benefit of Auburn Students. http://www.youcanwa.org
