We're proud to support Methilhill Primary School in Levenmouth as they partner with Kidney Kids to promote healthier hydration habits among students.
Kidney Kids is a charitable trust in Scotland that raises awareness about the importance of drinking water for kidney health, while also encouraging children to make healthier choices in their daily lives. Pupils at the school took part in a range of fun, interactive activities, including educational lessons on hydration, creative art projects and daily challenges to track their water intake.
As part of the initiative, each student received a water bottle sponsored by our H100 Fife project. H100 Fife is a world first green energy project taking place in the local area surrounding the school. This partnership aims to reinforce the message that water is essential for maintaining good health and energy levels.
"Not only does this project encourage better hydration, but it also helps our students take home a practical reminder of the importance of water for their health. The enthusiasm around the Kidney Kids project has been overwhelming, and we hope this will have a lasting impact on their well-being.
"We are grateful to SGN's H100 Fife project for their support in providing these water bottles for our pupils," said Alix Rolland, Depute Headteacher of Methilhill Primary School.
The water bottles will also serve as a reminder to reduce single-use plastic, aligning with the goals of the school and our commitment to environmental sustainability.
Sarah Ballantyne, SGN Community and Stakeholder Manager, said: "We’re incredibly proud to support Methilhill Primary School and Kidney Kids. At SGN, we believe in the power of community, and this project is a fantastic example of how we can come together to encourage healthier habits that will benefit the next generation.
"This initiative is part of our wider commitment to supporting the Levenmouth community, helping to create lasting positive change."
The Kidney Kids project has already seen great success, with students enthusiastically embracing the challenge of drinking more water each day. One Pupil, Poppy Mathieson (P4), shared: "I love my new water bottle! It’s easy to carry, and now I drink so much more water. I like drinking water because it helps me think better."
