Birthday Surprises

Help me give my students birthday surprises on their special day! Birthdays are a big deal in kindergarten!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Truax's classroom raised $206

My Project

My kindergarten students are full of excitement, kindness, and a love for learning. Each day, they bring their big hearts and bright smiles into our classroom, and I feel so lucky to be a part of their learning journey.

This project will help make their birthdays truly magical.

With light-up rings and bracelets, birthday crowns, fidget toys, and squishies, each child will feel celebrated and special on their big day. These small surprises not only bring joy, but also support social-emotional growth by helping students feel seen, valued, and connected to our classroom community. When children feel happy and supported, they’re more confident, engaged, and ready to learn.
