We are excited about our upcoming Field Day for PPA on Friday of this week (May 21). to help the day be successful, please keep the following points in mail.
We are in need of donations of about 1,126 healthy snacks by March 9. Each morning of the FCAT, we give students a healthy snack before sending them back to their room to begin the FCAT testing. We would rather they focus on the test then on an empty stomach, and it is a bit of time for kids to relax before taking the test. If you could make a donation, please drop them off at PPA by March 5. Snacks could include individual packages of pretzels, granola bars, peanuts, etc. We also could use apple juice, orange juice, etc. along with small individual sized cups (i.e. Dixie cups). And finally, we could also use help from 8:00 – 8:45 on March 9 through the 11to distribute the snacks. Please contact the office if you have any questions. Thanks!
