Out with the old – in with the new: water fountain refilling stations installed

in News by

Students rejoice! At the beginning of the school year, students arrived to find a new station in the lower school area, a gift from the lower school PTO with funds from Spring Fling. Now, responding to the requests of the student body, our administration has installed Elkay Water Fountain Filling Stations in Upper School areas as well as the Academy.

“I really enjoy using the water fountain refilling stations between class. I can fill my water bottle a lot faster than before,” junior Michael Hunschofsky said.

“We’re saving the world, one water bottle at a time,” AP Environmental Science teacher Mr. Osmel Rodriguez said.

Though it’s barely been a week since the majority of the water fountain refilling stations were installed, the counters on the fountains, indicating how many disposable water bottle have been saved, are in the hundreds.
