Chesterbrook Academy(R) Locations in Northern Virginia Hold Pajama and Toy Drives for Children in Need
Students collected donations for Toys for Tots and the Katherine K. Hanley Family Shelter
On Dec. 17, preschool and elementary school students from eight Chesterbrook Academy locations in Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fairfax and Herndon joined together – dressed in pajamas – at Chesterbrook Academy Kids Campus in Chantilly to sort toy and pajama donations they collected and pack them up for delivery. The toys were donated to children in the Northern Virginia area through the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. The 117 sets of pajamas collected were donated to the Katherine K. Hanley Family Shelter in Fairfax, which assists families experiencing homelessness in Virginia. Students collected new, unwrapped toys and pajamas in newborn to teen sizes throughout December and learned the importance of giving back to the community and helping others.
