Raise a glass of water to celebrate another successful ReThink YOur Drink Day!.  Students at Lakeside Elementary School took part in a taste testing event focused on naturally sweetened drinks instead of beverages with added sugars.  The water station allowed each student to taste water infused by oranges and strawberries.  At the end, over 78% of the students indicated they liked the infused water and would drink it again.  An origami flavor finder was given to participating students to promote healthy beverages based on their favorite flavors and included take-home drink recipe cards.
