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:

• Communities with optimally fluoridated water,
• 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.

Applications will be accepted through April 1, 2019. Click here to apply.

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