“We couldn’t do what we do without our community partners like Simple Modern,” said OKCPS Superintendent Dr. Sean McDaniel. “Our partners help us fill gaps while we focus on educating our students. We know that kids need to be hydrated in order to learn, and providing reusable water bottles that students can use during class and after school helps accomplish that.”

Sara Lynn Sadorra, Director of Strategic Planning and Partnerships added, “Simple Modern has been a key community partner for the last three years. When we were still in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Simple Modern stepped up to donate water bottles to all elementary students. This helped ensure our students had access to water when our water fountains were closed as a safety measure. The following year, they provided bottles to dance teams across the district. Counting this generous donation, Simple Modern has donated approximately 30,000 water bottles to OKCPS, with a total value of just under $500,000.”
