My Project

Nothing brings more joy to a child's face than hearing, "Happy birthday!" when they enter the classroom, except perhaps, finding a very special birthday bag waiting on their desktop. Many of the students that I teach do not get a day of celebration at home, but I can give that to them at school.

A child's birthday should be filled with smiles.

Being able to give my students bags filled with fun, kid-friendly itoys and fidget tems will help to make this possible. It helps to validate and confirm that on that one special day, they are very much seen, loved, and celebrated.
