Peppermints

Hello Parents...

Thank-you very much for your gracious donations of snacks for our 6th graders after the pep rally. I am now asking if you would please donate peppermints for your child, or for his or her class to help keep focus during our CRCT testing this week. I will be bringing in a bag myself, but we do have 5 days of testing.

Below you will find a few sites that recommend the tasty treat during testing.
