Chesterbrook Academy in Newtown Donates 100 Pairs of Pajamas

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Newtown recently held a pajama drive in support of the Pajama Program. Students worked together to collect 100 pairs of new pajamas for local children in need. To celebrate the pajama drive’s success, students enjoyed hot chocolate and popcorn while watching “The Polar Express” in their pajamas. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of helping others, especially during the holiday season.
