    Washington Elementary, a school close to KU School of

    Medicine–Wichita, is preparing for their annual state

    assessments, which are given to 3rd-5th grade students.

    In past years, the school has been able to use Title I

    funds to provide a small, healthy, packaged snack for

    the students each day prior to taking their tests.to help

    ensure that the students are not distracted during the

    test by hunger. Unfortunately, Title 1 funds can no

    longer be used to purchase food for students and with

    budget cuts, the school does not have alternate funding

    for this project. They are currently seeking donations of

    these snacks and are asking for our help! Following is a

    list of the snacks that are being collected. All snacks

    should be individually packaged.

    Chewy Granola Bars

    Peanut Butter Crackers

    String Cheese Sticks

    If you would like to donate any of these snacks, please

    drop them off in Public Affairs by Thursday, Feb. 23. If
