Can you picture the joy on a child’s face as they open a large, colorful bag filled with candles and a cake mix? This moment marks the start of a memory that will likely last a lifetime.

A handwritten note expresses best wishes, and a small gift is included to celebrate a time in a young person’s life when birthdays should be honored with the promise of a bright future.

Birthday-in-a-Box allows Assisteens^® of the Bay Area to spread joy to students who attend League City Elementary and McWhirter Elementary in Clear Creek ISD, KE Little Elementary, and San Leon Elementary in Dickinson ISD, who participate with Communities In Schools – Bay Area, helping students who have been identified for at-risk of dropping out to #stayinschool.
