South Kelso Community Health Advocates, led by CHW Coach Jen Schapman, handed out around 600 water bottles on February 25th donated by Kaiser Permanent to promote the installation of a new hydration station that was donated by Brita in partnership with Mission Readiness and the Childhood Obesity Prevention Coalition.Savannah Killsree, a high school student health advocate, worked very hard preparing for this event and even gathered dozens of donations from local businesses for a student drawing.
Several student volunteers attended to disperse water bottles, host the drawing, and to engage the students in a pledge to “drink a bottle of water a day” displayed in a prominent hallway on a large poster which students proudly signed.
