WATA supports student hydration and wellness during sports day season

KINGSTON, Jamaica — WATA is supporting students’ hydration and wellness through its Hydrate to Educate initiative, helping students stay refreshed, energised and prepared to perform as they compete in track and field activities during one of the most physically demanding periods on the school calendar.

Through the Hydrate to Educate School Tour, WATA has been visiting secondary schools across the island, setting up hydration stations to support students, teachers and spectators throughout the day’s activities, while reinforcing the importance of proper hydration in maintaining energy, focus and overall well being.

The tour began on February 17, with stops at Portland High School, Clarendon College, José Martí Technical High School and Merl Grove High School. It continued at BB Coke High School on March 5 and most recently at St Catherine High School on March 12, with the final stop scheduled for March 31 at May Day High School.

Marketing Coordinator for the WATA portfolio at Wisynco Group, Jusanna Staple said the initiative allows the brand to connect with students while promoting healthy and active lifestyles.

“Sports Day is one of the biggest highlights of the school year, and students often spend hours outdoors competing and cheering on their classmates,” Staple said. “Through the Hydrate to Educate School Tour, we’re able to support students by providing hydration while encouraging them to stay active and take care of their health and wellbeing.”

The school tour represents the first phase of WATA’s Hydrate to Educate initiative, which also includes an educational grant programme that provides financial assistance to students and funding for school development projects across Jamaica.

Applications for Hydrate to Educate educational grants will open on May 1, giving students and schools across the island an opportunity to apply for support. Last year, the initiative awarded over J$7 million in scholarships to 42 students to assist with school-related expenses such as tuition, books, uniforms and transportation. In addition, 14 schools received J$300,000 each to support campus development projects aimed at improving school facilities and learning environments.
