\nNow in its third year, the Water\u2019s Cool @ School grant program aims to help students understand the importance of drinking water, and to make it easier for students to do so during the school day. Research has found<\/a> that about half of all school-age children are underhydrated and that 1 in 5 children do not drink any plain water during the day.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cDrinking more water is one of the best things and easiest things that you can do for your health, and we\u2019re thrilled to be able to continue to help make that more accessible to schools and students across the state through the Water\u2019s Cool @ School program,\u201d said Dr. Phil Wenk, CEO of Delta Dental of Tennessee. \u201cI\u2019m a big believer that doing well allows us to do good, and Water\u2019s Cool @ School has become one of my favorite ways we are able to give back at Delta Dental. Instilling healthy habits at a young age is so important.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAcross Tennessee, a total of 80 elementary and middle schools have received Water\u2019s Cool @ School grants to date to upgrade their water fountains. To apply for a grant ahead of the November 18 deadline, interested schools should:\n<\/p>\n
