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

As May approaches, so does the annual state learning assessment, a pivotal moment for students statewide. Recognizing the significance of this testing period, our initiative, Test-Time Treats, aims to support students' readiness and focus during this critical time.

Students consistently show that a well-nourished brain performs better, and breakfast is often hailed as the most important meal of the day.

However, during the testing season, ensuring students have access to nutritious snacks is equally vital. Test-Time Treats addresses this need by providing students with snacks designed to fuel their brains and sustain their energy levels throughout the testing sessions.

Our project recognizes the demands placed on students during standardized testing. The state test requires concentration, critical thinking, and endurance - all of which are enhanced by proper nutrition. By offering wholesome snacks, we aim to mitigate hunger, boost cognitive function, and promote overall well-being among students.

Furthermore, Test-Time Treats serves as a reminder of the importance of self-care and prioritizing one's health, especially during high-pressure situations. By instilling healthy eating habits early on, we hope to empower students to make informed choices about their nutrition beyond the testing period.

Test-Time Treats seeks to create a supportive environment where students feel valued and equipped for success. By providing a simple yet impactful solution, we aim to alleviate some of the stress associated with standardized testing and contribute to a positive testing experience for all students.

In conclusion, Test-Time Treats endeavors to empower students with the sustenance they need to excel during the state assessment. By recognizing the importance of proper nutrition as a fundamental aspect of academic achievement, we strive to create a culture of well-being and success in our schools.
