My Project

We’re seeking donations for testing supplies like headphones, dividers, and candy to support our students during exams. These items will help create a focused and comfortable testing environment, allowing students to perform their best. Headphones are crucial to minimize distractions and ensure students can focus during listening sections or independent work. Dividers will help create individual spaces, promoting a calm and quiet testing environment. Lastly, the books and snacks for when students finish testing. These items are vital for supporting students in performing at their best and reducing test anxiety. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly impact their ability to succeed. Thank you for considering supporting this important need.
