Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In May our students will be taking the statewide assessment in reading, math and science. We would love to encourage our students with gum and mints as they test for many hours over a period of two weeks.

We are proud of all of our students' hard work this year and as they are taking their statewide assessment to show what they have learned, we want them to be motivated to do their very best.

This project will help us ensure that every child receives a little treat to help them stay focused during the long days of testing.
