Rethink Your Drink

Schools that are selected for the Rethink Your Drink program will have an old drinking fountain replaced with a new Elkay water fountain/bottle filling station.

Selected schools will receive reusable water bottles and toothbrushes for all students and staff. A Rethink Your Drink educational kit will also be provided to assist in educating your school on the importance of drinking water. 

Priority will be given to:

• Schools that have the highest rates of free and reduced price lunch and
• Schools that do not already have a water bottle filling station installed in their building.

Rethink Your Drink is supported by the Healthiest State Initiative, Iowa Department of Public Health Bureau of Nutrition and Health Promotion, Iowa Public Health Association, Iowa Department of Education, and In Depth Marketing.

For more information or questions about your application, contact Heather Strang.

(In 2019, free and reduced price lunch rates for awarded schools ranged from 7-100%.)
