The “Rethink Your Drink” partnership led by the Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation is donating an Elkay water bottle filling station that will be installed at FDMS this summer, updating an existing water fountain near the cafeteria.

The middle school will receive water bottles, toothbrushes, and bookmarks for all students and staff, and a Rethink Your Drink education kit.

“Drinking water over other beverages offers numerous health benefits,” said Ryan Flaherty, FDMS principal. “We are grateful to the Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation for helping us make it easier for our students and staff to choose water while they are at school. This provides us another opportunity to talk with kids about good, healthy choices.”
