Bike/Walk to Work or Shake it Up Challenge
C. rewarding site employees in achieving wellness goals

Hydration Station Installation Project
1. Schools need to decide if they want a hydration station(s) by May 1st, 2017.
2. They contact Gretchen Bohl Gretchen.Bohl@blueearthcountymn.gov or Leah Mahoney Leah.mahoney@co.nicollet.mn.us with SHIP in Blue Earth or Nicollet Counties to assure they are able to get the funds for the fountain(s) and to fill out a grant application. Kelsey Rounds can help with the grant application process.
3. Site allocations and Student Wellness funds could help pay for some of the cost because these fountains are focused on student health and funds are available. Again, Kelsey Rounds can help with this determination process.
4. Schools submit an application to EHP by May 14th. Application must indicate how much SHIP is able to help with the costs.
5. District Facilities puts out a request for quote for the units and installation, once the total number of fountains has been determined.
6. Install hydration stations summer 2017.
7. Each Building develops their plan to promote use of the hydration station by students and staff. All MAPS staff members receive a MAPS/EHP water bottle during back to school event in fall 2017.
