Chesterbrook Academy Hosts Fundraiser to Benefit Pajama Program

The school collected online donations that will be used to purchase pajamas and books for children in need

Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Newtown recently held a virtual fundraiser for the nonprofit organization Pajama Program. To promote the event, the school hosted a pajama day and students brought in their favorite books. The funds raised will be used by Pajama Program to purchase pajamas and books to be distributed to children in need. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of helping others, especially during the holiday season.

Pajama Program, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, believes that every child, no matter their circumstances, has the inherent right to a loving good night, complete with the comforting bedtime ritual of changing into clean, warm pajamas and enjoying an enchanting story.
