My Project

Help me give my students birthday backpacks filled with goodies that will help them relieve stress as well as keep them entertained during our classroom break. A lot of my students never receive anything from teachers on their birthdays, and I want to change that.

I want to put a smile on their faces when their birthday comes.

My special education students are super special, and they deserve incentives to keep them motivated and feeling loved. The different small toys will brighten their day. My students love fidget spinners, bracelets, and toys. Your donation will help me meet make that happen for them.
