Snacks for Success

Help me give my students snacks to sustain them during end of year state and district testing!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Acheson's classroom raised $390

My Project

As teachers, we understand the challenges our students face during state and district testing periods, and we believe that providing them with healthy snacks (when needed) can help sustain their energy levels, ensuring they remain focused and alert throughout the assessments. Making sure students basic needs are being met during testing is essential and one aspect that we can help them with during the school day is providing snacks. We are also seeking support for sugar-free gum and mints, as research suggests that these aids can enhance concentration and cognitive performance, contributing to a more productive testing experience.

By providing snacks, gum, and mints, we aim to create an atmosphere that fosters optimal learning conditions for our students during their testing sessions.

Your generous contribution will not only fuel their bodies but also empower their minds, helping them perform at their best during this critical time.

Here is a breakdown of the items we are seeking support for:

-Healthy Snacks: Granola bars, fruit snacks, trail mix, almonds, popcorn, and other nutritious snacks to sustain students during testing.

-Gum and Mints: Sugar-free gum and mints known to enhance focus and concentration.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact on our students' testing experience. We deeply appreciate your commitment to education and the well-being of our students. Your support will not only help them navigate the challenges of testing but will also contribute to their overall academic success.
