To encourage students to drink more water and reduce our use of plastic, we recently added a water bottle filling station in our “gymacafetorium.”
This was possible thanks to a grant from LincolnHealth and their Let’s Go program.
“Drinking water is linked to a number of health benefits. Water can improve kids’ readiness to learn and is the best first choice for hydration before, during, and after most exercise routines. We were happy to help Whitefield School create a healthier environment for students and teachers,” commented Kristina Verney, LincolnHealth’s Let’s Go Coordinator.
We are now accepting Pre-K applications for the 2019/2020 School year. Please call the school or stop by for an application.
