East Baton Rouge Schools recently received a generous donation of 300,000 bottles of water from Niagara Bottling Company to support student health and wellness. The district extends special thanks to Bart’s Office for helping transport the shipment to the designated staging site at White Hills Elementary School. The East Baton Rouge Schools’ Facilities Team is developing a plan to maximize the impact of the donation. This includes launching a district-wide hydration awareness campaign and setting up water distribution stations to ensure all students benefit from the effort. The donation will help promote healthy habits and address hydration needs. The initiative reflects a strong commitment to student health and community partnership.
