Julian Students Have Access To Water Bottle Filling Stations The Julian Union Elementary School District and Julian Pathways, the district's non-profit student and family support program, happily partnered with California Endowment's Agua4All campaign and Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) to install water bottle filling stations at the Julian Elementary and Junior High campuses. We know that drinking water and brain function are integrally linked, and that drinking adequate amounts of water (and choosing water over other beverages) is important for health. We wanted students and staff to drink more water and stay better hydrated, but children and adults alike were reluctant to use the old, sad-looking existing drinking fountains at school. With assistance from Agua4All and RCAC, we installed 6 new, attractive, easy-to-use water bottle filling stations. And when school resumes in the fall everyone on campus will receive a new BPA-free water bottle. New stations, water bottles, and on-going education and promotion will lead to increased water consumption, improved health, and better learners. Many thanks to the following partners who made it happen: Agua4All, who raises awareness about California’s drinking water crisis and builds community partnerships to install water bottle filling stations in schools where they’re needed most; to RCAC who provides technical assistance and advocacy in rural areas; and to Jimenez Plumbing who installed the water stations in one hundred degree heat!
