Happy Birthday to You!

Help me give my students an amazing birthday experience with a birthday cup!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cuzzort's classroom raised $291

My Project

I love birthdays! Every year I create a calendar for my students to put their birthdays, or half birthdays (summer months) on so I can celebrate them! In the past I have given them a pencil and piece of candy and they have loved it, however last year I started giving them birthday cups and they fell in love!

Each student will receive a "Birthday Cup" on their actual birthday or half birthday.

The cups will be filled with a fun scented pencil and pen, sticker for them to wear, scented erasers and lots of candy for them to enjoy. These cups will bring joy to them on their special day. I know some are already looking forward to their birthday next school year because of these!
