Hey Puxico Students....Puxico PTO has you covered. We want to say thank you to Puxico PTO for providing clear water bottles for all of our students. Don’t worry, if you already have one, you can use it and save this one for a different day.
Students will be encouraged to bring empty water bottles for personal use. Water fountains will be used/converted for bottle fillers.
These bottles should be labeled and hand washed (no dishwasher).
