Classroom Birthday Celebrations

Help me give my students have meaningful and memorable birthday celebrations in class!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dow's classroom raised $424

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will help me celebrate my student's birthdays in class and make their day as special as possible. Our district has stopped allowing in-class birthday parties, so this project will provide me with "It's My Birthday' Sashes", cups and Play-Doh along with other supplies to celebrate birthday's in class in a special and meaningful way.

Holidays and birthday are super special to me, and celebrating them with my students brings all of us so much joy.

Celebrating special days in each student's life builds community within the class and trust in one another. It also brings joy to the students to be able to be a part of each other special day.

Ms. Dow Dr George W Carver Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
