Mandarin Club and Martial Arts Club will not meet on these days.
Community Service Pajama Collection
The Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive got off to a late start due to the unbelievable events we all endured last week. Many thanks to those who have already contributed new warm pajamas. The drive will continue all this week and we will continue to have large bins outside of the classrooms to collect brand-new pajamas. For each pair of pajamas we collect, Scholastic Book Club will match each set with a new book. At the end of the drive, we will donate your generous pajama contributions and together we can help children in our community get a cozy night's sleep and a sweet bedtime story. This is the final week of our pajama drive so there is still time to help children in need have a warm and cozy night's sleep. Brand new pajamas in all sizes - newborn to adult - are being collected all this week. Please place your donations in the bins outside of the classrooms.
Here are some guidelines for the pajamas:
- Pajamas must be brand-new;
- Pajamas in all sizes are needed;
- Pajamas must be in complete sets or nightgowns;
- Pajamas in children's sizes must be manufactured as pajamas - this ensures that they are flame retardant and safe.
