Water Bottles for my friends

DID YOU KNOW YOUR BRAIN IS MADE UP OF ABOUT 75% WATER?? Hi, my name is Alexis and I am 10 years old.  I go to Dunedin Elementary School in Dunedin, Florida. Before school started my mom went school supply shopping and purchased 5  water bottles for our family. At school all of our water fountains are taped off due to Covid-19. Many of my friends were coming to school without water bottles and were getting thirsty.  My teacher was giving them plastic cups to get water from the sink. You can imagine how much water spills a day!  My friend asked me where I got my water bottle and when I told her, she asked me how much money it was. I told her it was around 10 dollars and she said her mom would not buy it for her.  It was at that very moment when an idea pounced into my mind like a cat after a toy. Things have changed. We used to get school supplies donated to our school. Why couldn't I ask for water bottles to be donated so all of my friends can have one too? It gets really hot here in Florida and since starting back to school, with these masks, we get super thirsty. Many other water bottles break or sweat water all over.  I have dropped my bottle 3 times in school. It is loud but it never breaks. I would like to ask if you are willing to work with me so I can help children in my school who can not afford a good water bottle? I would like to give back to a school who has treated me so well. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my email. I am passionate about helping the kids at our school and would love for you to work with me on keeping our brains hydrated.

Sincerely,


Alexis Blakeslee
