Scholastic Reading Club Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive
It’s time for the annual Scholastic Reading Club Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive benefiting Pajama Program, a nonprofit organization that provides new pajamas and books to children in need. Since 2009, caring classrooms across the country have risen to the challenge and donated nearly 350,000 pairs of new pajamas. The Scholastic Reading Club has more than matched those numbers with nearly 700,000 new books donated directly to Pajama Program headquarters, where they are then distributed across the country. Our school wants to be part of this drive again this year. If you are able to participate, please bring in a new pair of pajamas to St. James by December 3, 2015 and place them in the collection box on the lower level outside of the school office.
Here are some simple guidelines for the pajamas: Pajamas must be brand-new. Pajamas in all sizes are needed—from newborn to adult. Pajamas must be in complete sets or nightgowns. Pajamas in children’s sizes must be manufactured as pajamas—this ensures that they are flame-retardant and safe. Thank you for helping us share the gift of a good night’s sleep and a sweet bedtime story.
