DID YOU KNOW THAT DEHYDRATION CAN IMPAIR COGNITIVE FUNCTION!

Studies have shown that when individuals are dehydrated by just 3%, performance was impaired on tasks involving visual perception, short-term memory and psychomotor ability.

We want our students to be at the best in the classroom as t oo many of our students are on campus without water!

Please make sure your student has a Hydroflask or bottle of water DAILY!
