“Teacher’s Survival Kit!” Did you know?

The scent and taste of peppermint is proven to in-

crease motivation, decrease feelings of fatigue and

improve memory? True! Mint has the potential to

promote the brain to a more energetic, accurate

functioning which is good news for teachers who

work with students of all ages! With that said, our

PTO team is looking for donations of a few small

items. These items will be used to create a

“Teacher’s Survival Kit” as our teachers and stu-

dents enter the next several weeks. All grade levels

are preparing for mile marker tests and these items

will help our teachers, help our children! Most of

these items can be found at the Dollar Tree, dollar

store for only $1.00! Bags of peppermint

Crystal Light or other drink packets

Post it or other small note pads

Pencil erasers/cap erasers

Mounds Candy Bars / Peppermint Patty’s

Rubber bands

If you are able to contribute any of these items,

please send to our front office labeled for PTO.

Thanks!
