Hopewell Learning About Water

Hello Everyone. My name is Aliyana, and I am a Y Street member who attends Hopewell High School, Class of 2025. This is my first year on the Y Street Leadership Team.

My first big event, the Rev Your Bev Celebration, was a great first opportunity as a member. The Celebration was a fun and innovative way to promote water and bring in more support cards. We spoke to a lot of students about the importance of drinking water and their views on water access in schools. Everyone was very enthusiastic and enjoyed the campaign goodies we offered (cups, stickers, and bracelets) once they completed a message of support.

High school students sometimes struggle with making drinking water a habit and drink too many sugary drinks because they are easy to obtain. Making water more readily available will allow students to have easier access to water throughout the day. Our Rev Your Bev campaign focuses on raising awareness and collecting messages of support to encourage people to take a closer look at this issue.

This year I am looking forward to participating in more events and using our advisory time to promote healthy hydration, as well as giving out more swag to students. I am hoping that students will learn more about the health benefits of water. I believe the more youth speak out and educate others, the bigger the change we will make in our schools.

Go to RevYourBev.com to support the campaign by filling out a support card using my Member ID number: 19423.

The Enjoyments of Rev Your Bev

Hello, my name is Samera and I attend Brunswick High School in Lawrenceville. This is my first year in Y Street, and so far it’s been a blast. We recently held a Rev Your Bev Event at our school to celebrate the campaign and I enjoyed it.

The Rev Your Bev campaign encourages everyone to choose water. Consuming too many sugary beverages can lead to diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Rev Your Bev is a campaign that wants to reach everyone with its messaging. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are, Rev Your Bev wants to improve the health of all Virginians.

For our Rev Your Bev event, we set up a station during lunch to educate students and adults about healthy hydration, and I believe it was effective. We worked hard and enjoyed it. My fellow youth members and I went around engaging our school community in conversations about the campaign. We encouraged everyone to visit our table to try water samples that were infused with fruit. We also got them to fill out a support card and once completed, they were able to spin a wheel for a prize. Participants could win a Rev Your Bev Cup, Straw, Stickers, or a Bracelet. I believe my peers enjoyed spinning the prize wheel and learning about Rev Your Bev!

Rev Your Bev is important to me because I have family and friends that have been diagnosed with diabetes. I want to see them get better by encouraging and promoting healthy behaviors. I would love to see everyone adopt healthier habits that’s why I joined Y Street and have been working on the Rev Your Bev campaign. I hope you’ll join us by supporting our campaigns, not just Rev Your Bev but also Share The Air too.

Water: The Healthy Choice

Hi! My name is Anya and I’m a junior at Tabb High School. I have been a member of Y Street for one year. This year I am focusing on the Rev Your Bev campaign which is all about promoting water as the #1 beverage of choice. Frequent consumption of sugary beverages can lead to Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and tooth decay.

Rev Your Bev works with schools across Virginia to promote water and raise awareness. Since kids are still growing and learning we want to encourage them to adopt healthy behaviors. When youth are aware of the health benefits of drinking water they will be more likely to choose water. This campaign is so important to me because my family has a history of diabetes and heart issues so I’m doing my best to lead a healthier lifestyle and encourage others to do the same.

My goals for this year are to involve more of my friends, participate in Rev Your Bev events to educate others, and drink more water myself. I hope students at my school will take the time to listen to this campaign and think about what we’re saying because it really is important. And besides, drinking water is fun AND healthier for you! Did you know you can dress up your water by adding different types of fruit?!

Share The Air Takes on the Spooky Trail 😄

Hey there! Jaila and Madison (seniors and third-year members of Y Street), writers of this lovely post, along with our two fellow members, Ahjana and Yyetta, are here from Brunswick High School to share our experience on participating in a Share The Air campaign event at the Spooky Trail in Alberta. This was our first off-campus Share The Air event this year!!

Share The Air is a campaign that promotes clean and healthier outdoor spaces, meaning a tobacco-free and e-cigarette-free environment. The Spooky Trail was a great opportunity to spread awareness about the harms of tobacco litter and exposure to secondhand smoke and vape aerosol in outdoor public places. Share The Air has been very hands-on with tackling this issue by promoting tobacco-free and vapor-free outdoor areas and offering tobacco-free signs to local Parks and Recreation Departments across Virginia to post in places such as parks and walking trails.

This event was important to us because the Spooky Trail was hosted at a public playground and trail where youth gather. We want to promote clean air for their health and well-being. We also want to inform the public about this issue and its effect on our community to work together on creating 100% tobacco-free outdoor spaces. Our ultimate goal is to encourage our local Parks & Recreation Department to adopt a tobacco-free and e-cigarette-free outdoor policy. We are very excited to continue raising awareness about Share The Air in our community!

Y Street has been an amazing experience for me so far! It has allowed me to meet new people and make a change within my school. It has also given me a lot of great opportunities like speaking with Key Decision Makers in my community. Our campaigns are Share The Air and Rev Your Bev.

I have made videos on ways to make flavored water and collected support cards and surveys for the campaign.

Y Street is a great opportunity to make a change within your school and community.

Join Y Street

Hi, my name is Ella, and I am a Junior at Charlottesville High School. This is my second year as a Y Street member and my first year on the Y Street Leadership Team (YSLT). I joined Y Street because working with students across Virginia and engaging community members, key decision-makers, and legislators with the goal of making our state healthier really fascinated me. I am a pretty shy person, but with Y Street I am able to collaborate with others from a much larger platform to make a significant change on issues that I am extremely passionate about such as access to drinking water in schools and the effects of secondhand smoke in outdoor public areas.

Last school year, I was offered the opportunity to present along with another YSLT member from my high school to a local organization, Region Ten in Charlottesville, to educate them on our Share The Air campaign. I took a lot from this experience. I was able to immerse myself in a business-type scenario which is an important life skill to have. I also made new friends and stepped out of my comfort zone. This wouldn’t have happened without Y Street and for that, I am so glad that I joined this incredible movement.

Another amazing benefit of joining Y Street is the awesome prizes and rewards that you can earn! The more opportunities you participate in and the more hours earned, the more points you can exchange for prizes such as AirPods, Apple watches, polaroids, gift cards, and even scholarships.

If you’re a returning Y Street member you can go straight to ystreet.org and click on the Member Login login button at the top of the page. Login to your account and sign up for your high school’s 2021 Training Kickoff event.

If you are a new student, don’t worry your application process is super easy as well! All you have to do is go to my.ystreet.org/apply. To create an account, enter your contact information and fill out a brief questionnaire so that we can get to know you.

I hope you choose to join the Y Street movement and immerse yourself in all the experiential and engaging opportunities it has to offer!

My Legislator Meeting Experience

Hi! My name is Wramsey, and I am a junior at John Randolph (JR) Tucker High School. This year is my second year in Y Street and my first year on the Y Street Leadership Team (YSLT).

I had the amazing opportunity to be a part of the first legislator meeting of the 2021-2022 Y Street school year with Delegate Rodney Willet. During the meeting, we presented our two campaigns, Share The Air and Rev Your Bev. I got the chance to talk about the activities we do and the way the campaigns help and affect me in my life, and how we connect to them. I personally talked about the Share The Air campaign and an advertisement pitch I did on creating tobacco and e-cigarette free outdoor spaces so my family can go out safely without being exposed to secondhand smoke.

The purpose of these meetings is to educate our legislators about the campaigns and how they positively impact Virginians. To prepare, we went over a PowerPoint and had a practice meeting to get questions and jitters out. We also took notes to help the meeting go smoothly. Once we were in the meeting it felt really nice. I liked how we actually had an engrossing and real conversation with Delegate Willet. I’m interested in doing more legislator meetings in the future so I can make a change in Virginia by making it a healthier state.

My Leadership Team Summit Takeaways

Hello! My name is Roger and I am a rising junior attending Granby High School. This is my first year being on the Y Street team and the Y Street Leadership Team (YSLT). Being a part of Y Street has taught me more than I anticipated, and joining YSLT is a decision that I will never regret. I personally enjoyed the virtual YSLT Summit held in July.

Being a YSLT member is definitely nerve-racking. I was afraid that I would mess up or that I wouldn’t be good enough for the role, but my team members and the Y Street staff have been a tremendous help. I have many fond memories of the Summit; one of them is meeting my ‘ZOOMmate’ Max. It was very refreshing meeting someone new and getting to know them. The Summit also offered various activities that we could participate in, such as a Virtual Escape Room, and I enjoyed building a repository for our future goals in Y Street! Overall, it was a great learning experience and bonding moment to meet new YSLT members.

This Summit experience has given me a lot to ponder. I was able to collaborate with team members and learn new methods to be more productive. It has taught me how to be a better leader, a better advocate, and a better communicator. I look forward to starting the school year with my YSLT members!

My Y Street Summer Experience

Hi! My name is Inina, and I am a junior at Tabb High School. This year will be my third year in Y Street and my first year on the Y Street Leadership Team (YSLT).

In preparation for the upcoming school year, other members and I attended the Y Street Summer Summit. Due to the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Summit was virtual. We had four sessions throughout the whole month of July, each with a theme. For one session, we focused entirely on networking where we got the opportunity to meet key decision-makers and community partners and talk to them about what we do in Y Street and aim to improve in our community. In each session, we did tons of fun icebreaker activities. We also had surprise activities like a Virtual Escape Room and other mystery games.

The Summit strengthened many skills of mine. These skills include public speaking and getting clear communication through to other members of the team. I have learned how to create powerful testimonies and strong- visual media about the importance of Y Street and our campaigns, Rev Your Bev and Share The Air. What I look forward to most this year is working with the YSLT members at my high school. I also look forward to working with key decision-makers on building healthier communities. All thanks to the Y Street staff and my fellow members, I have had the most exciting experience at the Summer Summit!

Drink Up!

Hi! My name is Lydia and I am a freshman at Hopewell High School. This is my first year being a part of Y Street.

The Rev Your Bev campaign is important to me because it helps others get to know the importance of water, which has helped me. Water carries minerals and nutrients throughout the body. I personally didn’t like water at first because I felt like it really wouldn’t help me feel any different, or help me lose weight, so I mainly drank tea and juices. Until one day, I told myself that I was going to start drinking more water, so I bought a 62-ounce water bottle. After the first day, I felt more energized and happier. Being in quarantine made it difficult to lead a healthy lifestyle. I was always on my phone, sitting down, and feeling tired. Water has helped me a lot with being more active, losing weight, breathing better, and lifting my mood.

For the remainder of the year, I’m looking forward to raising awareness to help people see how water can positively affect their lives. I’m also looking forward to hopefully being able to come together in person with all the other Y Street youth members!
