Birthday Box Bash Special Edition
Celebrating D95 and Your Generosity

From Your Executive Director
With Many Thanks
Thank You, District 95 – What an Incredible Community Effort!
Because of your incredible generosity, we were able to pack over 595 birthday boxes! This amazing achievement was only possible thanks to the kindness and support of our District 95 community - from the students and staff who collected items, to the families, neighbors, and local businesses who contributed donations and funding.
A special thank-you goes to Deacon John and Bobbi Sfire, whose generous $5,000 donation helped make this initiative possible, and to our broader community for donating over $1,000 in additional contributions. Every dollar, every item, and every helping hand made a difference.
This effort truly reflects what makes District 95 so special - a community that comes together to care for one another. Your donations helped fill boxes, but more importantly, they filled hearts with hope and gratitude.
Thank you for showing the power of teamwork, compassion, and community spirit. We couldn’t have done this without you!

Thank You Again
Each “Birthday Box” was filled with thoughtful essentials - from cake mix, icing, and candles to balloons, sprinkles, party supplies, and even a can of Sprite - the perfect substitute for eggs, oil, and water to make a delicious cake with just a simple pour and stir! All donated by our generous students, families, and community members.
We are especially grateful to the District 95 School Board, Dr. Gallt, and our administrators for their leadership and partnership in making this initiative possible. Together, we showed what community spirit looks like - helping to make birthdays a little brighter for children and families throughout our area.
