Please Help Us

Greetings Parents/Guardians,
Beginning Wednesday, April 17, 2024, our scholars will take the Georgia Milestones End of Grade (EOG) Assessment in the following content areas: English Language Arts (6-8), Mathematics (6-8), Science (8) and Social Studies (8).
On behalf of the Cedar Grove Middle School scholars, I am asking you to please assist us by donating peppermint candy and or the small sized bottled water for our scholars during testing. We would like to provide each scholar with water and peppermint candy each day of testing. We have about 720 scholars and any amount of the items you can donate will be appreciated.
In the past years, the peppermint candy & water drive has been successful, and we hope for the same this year.
If you decide to donate the requested items, you may drop your donation off at Cedar Grove Middle School beginning Monday, March 25, 2024, through Tuesday, April 9, 2024, from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Some parents/guardians have even had the items delivered from Amazon and other places. Please ensure you provide us with your full name and email address so we can thank you properly.
WE APPRECIATE YOU.
"The Washington Post" reported in 2007 that more schools are encouraging students to eat peppermint candy to boost test scores. But is it effective? Peppermint candy contains peppermint oil and sugar, two important ingredients that energize your brain. Research shows that peppermint stimulates the brain by improving memory and increasing alertness while helping it relax. Your body breaks down sugar to glucose -- the main fuel source for your brain.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Dr. Scott, Principal
