Brickie Water Bottles Coming Home
Each student in the School City of Hobart was issued a water bottle to take to and from school. We want all of our Brickies to stay hydrated! Why drink water?
· Up to 60% of the adult human body is water
· Roughly 75% of the brain is composed of water
· By the time you feel thirsty you have already lost close to 2 to 3% of your body weight
· Dehydration leads to an inability to concentrate, focus, recall, and can cause a rise in our stress hormones
encourage your child to use khan academy to boost test scores and work on skills for current classes
