Thanks to the partnership between the Sustainability enrichment, the class of 2021, and Mr. Malone, Woods has its first bottle-filling water fountain with filtration.

Day 1: 166 plastic bottles saved!

The first filtration station is on the middle school hall.  Look out for an upgrade to the water fountains on the high school hall and in the Great Room, coming soon.


  • Did you know?
Bottled water costs 1000 times more than tap water.
Plastic water bottles can take up to 1000 years to decompose.
