Hello families, We are looking for candy donations for testing that we have coming up.
Preferably hard candies or lollipops, or mints. Cinnamon and peppermint help with focus and attention, Lollipops can help with fidgeting and energy, and we can promise to limit kids to 1 or 2 pieces during their time of testing. Gum is also a potential donation for help with focus and anxiety. If they have concerns about their children eating a little bit of candy, they can request to have their student be offered the sugar free candy. Donations may be dropped off in the office.
Many people are quick to say that Candy does not improve your work habits. But candy can actually help you concentrate and even improve your work habits.
1. Energy: The sugar in the Lollipop will keep you awake long enough to finish your pile of work as well as be a reward for finally getting it done. Better late than never!
2. Fidgeting: Sucking on a lollipop is a great way to stay focused during a meeting or in class if you're one of those people who has to constantly be fidgeting with something in order to concentrate. Unlike doodling in your notebook, you’ll be able to keep your head up and concentrate on whoever is speaking to you so that you stay engaged with what they are saying instead of on your latest masterpiece!
3. Concentration: Studies have shown that Peppermint and Cinnamon are two flavors that keep you alert and focused. Candy Cane and Cinnamon Lollipops are the perfect treat to bring to a long meeting or lectures especially if you have trouble concentrating for long periods of time.
4.Stress: If you’re feeling too stressed out it can become impossible to get any work done. A solution: Suck on a lollipop! Studies have shown that sucking on a lollipop while you work can decrease anxiety and which leads to productivity!
5. Mentality: Giving yourself small rewards while you work can lead to a positive shift in mentality. Instead of dreading your next hour of work you can reward yourself with a lick of your Lollipop every 5 minutes. This will give you a positive short-term goal and give you something to look forward to while you work. This simple task can lead to a positive “can-do” attitude, which has been linked to better performance in the workplace and at school!
