My Project

As we prepare for the state assessment in May, my students have great momentum, as well as great appetites! My students like to feel loved as they work hard to earn proficiency on their assessment. Part of feeling loved is snacking as they work. They are typical high school studentsf who like snacks.

Part of the bootcamp schedule is "Work and Eat" sessions!

My students are inner city scholars who come to school and are focused on graduating on time. Part of their graduation requirements is success on the state assessment. This project will help us to reach that goal.
