25 Tennessee schools to get updated water fountains
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Delta Dental is helping 25 Tennessee schools get a new water fountain.
Delta says the schools will receive the Water’s Cool @ School grant to get an Elkay bottle filling station.
The schools include:
- West Bemis Middle School
- Northeast Middle School
- North Parkway Middle School
- Munford Middle School
- Inman Middle School
- Henry Elementary School
- Crockett County Middle School
- Chester County Junior High
“From musical numbers to detailed science fair-style posters and mystery-themed videos, students from across Tennessee found creative ways to make drinking water – which is often dismissed as boring and plain – exciting and fun,” said Dr. Phil Wenk, CEO and president of Delta Dental. “We were so impressed by the grant applications and projects we received and appreciate the time and interest of every school that applied.”
