My Project

I love my students and want them to know how special they are. One way is by celebrating each student‘s birthday (and for summer birthdays, we celebrate half-birthdays!)

I would love your help providing each student a birthday card and a choice of a gift from a collection of silly treasures…yes, even high school seniors who are turning 17, 18 and 19 years old love little treats like squishies, ring pops, stress balls & rainbow pens!

Feeling special on your birthday is just another reason to show up to school, work hard for your future and be the best you can be! Thanks for making that easier by supporting this project! It’s the little things that can make a big difference!
