Springfield Local Schools to receive funding to encourage reusable water bottles

 

Springfield Local Schools has been chosen as only one of 94 schools, districts, and diocese throughout Ohio to be awarded a grant through the Ohio Environnmental Protection Agency (EPA). This valuable grant will purchase 9 water bottle filling stations and retro-fit one existing fountain to make it a filling station. 

The EPA grant covers the cost of the equipment. 

Director of Curriculum and Instruction for the schools explained that the filling stations benefit the environment by encouraging reusable water bottles, which will reduce waste in landfills. 

Congratulations Springfield Schools!
