More than 900 students at Lewis Frasier Middle School signed a test-taking pledge and posted pledge cards on a wall in the school’s commons area for all to see during CRCT week.
On April 20, the day before the tests, students pledged to do their best by getting a good night’s sleep, eating a healthy breakfast, following directions and answering questions carefully. Students used their lunch hours to post their cards.
Each day, 10 cards were pulled from the wall and those students receive prizes if they were at school.
Before and during the CRCT, students received several items to encourage them to do their best. Examples of items received were test pencils, wrist bands, and a test-tip book marker.
Faculty members said the school’s goal is that all Liberty County students attain the knowledge that will allow them to meet or exceed the standards on the CRCT and send them to the next level ready for a challenge.
