AP Snack Donations Requested

by Newsletter Comment Closed

We welcome your snack donations for students taking AP tests. Why are we requesting snack donations? Great question! Many students go to tests back to back, without time for a break College Board is RIGID on test start times, so grabbing a bite to eat is no excuse for being late. By providing breakfast and snacks, we hope to provide a little something for a nervous belly or a little oomph to fuel a kiddo through those last hours of testing. We greatly appreciate your support.
