Bubble Gum Day is the First Friday in February... 2-5-21
Everyone may celebrate Bubble Gum Day a little different, but the event was started by Ruth Spiro author of Lester Fuzz Bubble Gum Artist in 2006. She thought it would be fun to let kids chew gum at school to raise money. Many schools and libraries celebrate the event to generate funds for a special cause. The link above will tell you more about the history of the celebration and has a few resources to share.
