Brain-Boosting Snacks

Help me give my students snacks that can enhance their memory, focus, recall, and cognitive function during state testing

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Grandison's classroom raised $575

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am asking for support in providing my students snacks to be used during their break time for brain power during our yearly state test.

Students need snacks during their break time during assessments to help maintain their energy levels, improve focus, and support cognitive function.

Testing can be mentally exhausting, and a snack provides essential nutrients that fuel the brain, enhance memory, and sustain concentration. Additionally, snacks help regulate blood sugar levels, preventing fatigue and keeping students alert and engaged throughout the test.

It’s time to refuel the brain before completing the assessment. My students will be winners with your support.
