Students donated pajamas to the Scholastic Book Club's Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive

In celebration of the drive, students wore their pajamas to school. Through the drive, students learned the importance of giving back to their community during the holiday season.

Pajama Program provides new pajamas and new books to children in need nationwide, many of whom are waiting to be adopted. Since 2001, Pajama Program has donated over one million pajamas and books to children.
