Testing Swag Bags

Help me give my students the chance to succeed in testing with snacks!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Loftus's classroom raised $439

This project is fully funded

My Project

In my classroom, my students are endlessly learning in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. While my students are learning, a treat or snack helps them keep their focus. Also, it motivates them to complete the work. Well it is that time of year where testing season is approaching. So swag bags for the students are small token of showing support to them. My students will appreciate the candy especially the jolly ranchers. Also, my students will like the different snacks such as the cookies and fruit snacks. These swag bags are to promote a positive sign of support. All of my students will feel loved, supported, and encouraged to do well!
