New Water Fountain Splashes into Chadron High

     Recently, Chadron High School has had the privilege of acquiring a new water fountain. Not only can students quench their thirst momentarily, but they can fill up their water bottles with ease. Chadron High senior Kyle Baumann said, "I love the new water fountains. Filling up my water bottle before was a time waster. The new water refill system does everything for me. I don't even need my hands like I did with the old water fountains."
     The change from manual to automatic water fountain/bottle fillers has become very beneficial to the students. It used to be that the students would need to tilt the bottle until the stream of water could smoothly flow into it. Thumbs and fingers of students would be bruised after pressing down the button that activated the stream. "It was a smart move on the school's part to put in the fountain," Baumann says. "I don't have to worry about holding my water bottle still anymore while filling up. It saves my thumbs and fingers a fair amount of pain, too."
