CAASPP Testing Snacks Needed!
CAASPP Testing for 3rd-6th graders is here! 🙈 Let’s support these amazing students by donating snacks to help them be energized and focused during standardized testing! Peace Patrol has volunteered to help collect and organize snack packs for some upper-grade classrooms.
Upper-Grade classes are SO THANKFUL for all the many donations to our Testing Treats! State testing next week is daunting, but knowing our friends and family support us will help us persevere!
We are all full on the previous snacks so now we only need more of the following:
1) Pretzels (available Costco Business)
2) Chocolate Chip Granola Bars (available at Walmart and other superstores etc) NO PEANUT BUTTER, please
3) Cheez-Its (available at National City Walmart SuperCenter and Target)
Since pretzels are hard to find, some classes will get Granola Bars instead.
Bring them tomorrow, Fri May 6th or Monday, May 9th, and Peace Patrol will get them organized for each class.
Thank you so much for supporting our 3rd-6th graders!
