EncourageMINT for the EOGs

Help me give my students the support and encouragement they need to face the EOGs. Testing can be rough. Sensory toys to reduce stress and mints to stimulate brain activity will surely be a comfort to our students.

My Project

Encourage"MINT" for the EOGs

End-of-grade (EOG) testing can be a stressful time for students, and we want to ensure our students are equipped with the tools to help them stay calm, focused, and comfortable during their exams.

With your generous support, we hope to provide stress balls, fidget toys, soft peppermints, sanitizing wipes, and tissues for our students. These simple yet effective items will help create a more positive and focused testing environment.

Stress balls and fidget toys will offer a quiet, hands-on way for students to release nervous energy and stay engaged.

Soft peppermints can provide a small, refreshing boost to help students stay alert and focused.

Sanitizing wipes and tissues will ensure a clean and healthy space, allowing students to concentrate on their tests without distractions.

Your support will make a meaningful difference for our students, helping them feel prepared, comfortable, and confident as they tackle their EOG exams.

Thank you for believing in our students and their success!
