Rock the Test

Help me give my students a much needed energy boost and brain break during testing.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Di Stasio's classroom raised $640

My Project

Beginning in April, our students will be taking back to back assessments to demonstrate all they have learned this year. As adults, we know how testing can make us feel. These kids give it their all every day. They deserve anything we can do to help make this time less stressful so they can show what they know! Small snacks and candy are motivating and help give kids an extra burst of joy as they go into their test taking routines.

These small treats can provide students with much needed energy boosts and brain breaks, while also helping them focus as they rock the tests.
