Water is good for you. That’s the healthy message Richmond Public Schools and Richmond City Health District officials passed to elementary school students during Water Week demonstrations and activities last week. The aim is to encourage students to drink more water rather than sugar-laden drinks. Above, Bridgette Harris distributes fruit-infused water to students at George Mason Elementary School in Church Hill last Friday. Water Week kicked off the RPS Hydration Station Initiative involving special water fountains that have been installed in all city elementary schools. Students will receive water bottles they can refill at the hydration stations.
