They thought they had won the lottery. Little did they know, there is great research to support that the scent of mint can help boost alertness and focus, while also lowering stress and fatigue! Thanks for making our end of the school year 'refreshing' and less stressful than it could have been.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and support of our classroom was appreciated and will not soon be forgotten!
