Donate Healthy Snacks for TCAP Week

Easy Volunteer Opportunity


We are beginning to gear up for TCAPs, and our students need your help.  ITC will be TCAP testing April 30 -May 7, 2014, and we are asking for donations of non-perishable, healthy snacks to help ensure that our students can stay focused and succeed!

 Research shows that if students are well hydrated and well fed, their test taking ability is at its best. Munching on snacks in between tests helps to stimulate the brain, keeps the students awake and alert, and makes testing “fun.”

Some possible donations are: popcorn, Goldfish/cheese crackers, animal crackers and granola bars, etc.  We ask that all items be individually wrapped, and do not require refrigeration.

If you can help, please send any snack with your child during our collection period, April 7 - 25. We will evenly distribute the snacks at appropriate times during the testing period.
