Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 I was surprised when Wyatt started school in Hawaii because they encourage EVERY student to bring a water bottle with them to school. It is sooooo HOT there and especially in the classrooms. They do not have air conditioners-only fans it was really miserable. Wyatt came home and his entire head had crystals all over it from the loss of salt. I sent Gatorade in his bottle and if he drank it all he'd fill it up with water throughout the day.
