the great bedtime story pajama drive

Published Oct. 22, 2009

Many of you are probably familiar with Scholastic Book Clubs through your child's school.  Scholastic does so much to help with literacy as well as donating to children's charities throughout the year.

 

Currently, Scholastic is partnering with the Pajama Program to help put books in the hands of children in need.  Those in orphanages, group homes, foster homes, and shelters nationwide. 

 

Scholastic is asking for your help. 

 

For every pair of pajamas donated, Scholastic will also donate a brand new book.  Together, these books and pajamas will be distributed to children in need.

 

They are asking for new, unused, pajamas and gowns from sized newborn to adult.  Pajamas should be in a complete set.  In other words, not just the top or the bottom.  For children's pajamas, please be sure they are actually made for sleepwear so they are flame retardant.

 

Donations can be sent to:

The Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive

PO Box 714

New York< NY  10013-0714

 

For more information, you can go to www.pajamaprogram.org

and you can also visit

www.scholastic.com/pjdrive

 

Thanks for those that feel the need to help

ok, been a busy day getting the kids through assessments and such. Gonna have those ready for parents next week. It'll soon be time for them to be getting up and the bus will be here about 3. I still gotta clean up in the kitchen and get snack out.

Please, pass the word around, if you will. I think this is a great idea. (personal opinion anyway, kids are a passion of mine and literacy is very important)

Thanks

"I'd rather have a book than pajamas"

Haggis, do you live in Northern VA.? ;)

Dots? Headlong, I'm not familiar with that store, I don't think

NCMom...Dots usually has PJs for just $5 a set. My Girls love those in the Winter

I'd rather have a book than pajamas....but then I've got got good heating and a warm quilt....This is a good idea, reading is a good habit to encourage

I just saw that in my November Scholastic magazine. I thought it was a great idea. I'm going to have my children do it. But I wanted to share. A set of pajamas isn't all that expensive somewhere like Walmart, even with our economy the way it is.

This is such a cool idea!!! I love it!!!

That is an awesome thing for Scholastic to do.

This is a great idea!
