Singing happy birthday

I have maintained a tradition on my elementary route that involves everyone on the bus singing happy birthday to any student who has a birthday either on that day or on the weekend. They get the biggest kick out of doing that. And of course the lucky birthday boy/girl enjoys it most of all. It is an easy way of giving recognition and bolstering self esteem to all students, many of whom do not get a regular dose of that. It is easy, fun and well worth the effort.
