A Little Snack-y Snack for Break During Testing!

Help me give my students a little snack during their state testing break.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Dykes's classroom raised $374

My Project

We have entered the testing season. My students have been working extremely hard for review. My 8th grade students have 3 state tests to take this year. For their break, we usually provide snacks. Due to limited funds, we are not able to do so. We need individually wrap food and juice grab-and-go options for students to eat or drink during their 5-10 minute break.

Our goal is to make sure students receive that burst of energy to finish their test and not suffer from fatigue at the end of the exam.
