I love celebrating birthdays! Each year, I create a calendar for my students to mark their birthdays or half-birthdays (for those with summer birthdays) so we can celebrate together. In the past, I've given them a pencil and a piece of candy, which they enjoyed. However, last year, I introduced birthday cups, and they were a huge hit! For some students, this is the only gift they receive for their birthday.
Each student receives a "Birthday Cup" on their birthday or half-birthday.
These cups are filled with delightful items: a fun, scented pencil and pen, scented erasers, and plenty of candy. These cups bring so much joy to their special day. Many students are already looking forward to their birthdays next school year because of these cherished gifts!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
