Neighbors surprise 10-year-old with “Happy Birthday” signs in front of their homes

MADISON – Sarah Vineski, a fourth grader at Rainbow Elementary, has a big heart. “She likes to make cards and do special things for her neighbors,” said her mother Julie. So, to celebrate her 10th birthday, her mother had the perfect idea since hosting a birthday party was out of the question with the current COVID-19 social distancing guidelines.

“I asked a few neighbors if they could have their kids draw a picture or something and put it in their window for Sarah to see,” Julie said. “Some of the empty-nesters also participated. Sarah was really surprised but all the attention!”

Sarah’s sister, AJ is an 8th grader at Discover Middle School and also joined the fun to a sign.

Below are some photos of Sarah with a few of her “Happy Birthday” signs from neighbors in the Clear Springs subdivision.

Please share your uplifting moments with us too. Send us your photos too. You can email us at news@themadisonrecord.com. We would like to include them each week in The Madison Record to help keep each other encouraged.
