The Preschool class took part in the 16th Annual Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive (partnered with Scholastic)! Every year, hundreds of classrooms around the nation collect brand new pajamas to support the children that Beyond Bedtime supports. As is tradition, Scholastic has pledged to match every pair of donated pajamas with a brand-new storybook, up to 100,000 books!
By generous donations from the preschool families, we collected 20 pairs of pajamas! They will be donated to a local shelter.
