We are excited to partner with Scholastic for the 15th Annual Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive! Every year, hundreds of classrooms around the nation collect brand new pajamas for children that Pajama Program supports. As is tradition, Scholastic has pledged to match every pair of donated pajamas with a brand-new storybook, up to 100,000 books!
HOW IT WORKS
All educators must register their classes/schools to participate in the Drive. After registration, teachers may begin collecting pajamas with their students. Classroom drives usually last a few months, though teachers can choose to run their drives for any length of time from September through December 6. We ask that teachers end their drives by December 6th then notify us to receive an email with next steps.
After Pajama Program shares the final total of pajamas collected, Scholastic will donate a new book for every pair of pajamas collected, up to 100,000 books. Pajama Program will distribute the donated new books to Pajama Partners in the months after December.
At the conclusion of the drive, thousands more children across the nation will have access to essential tools needed to have Good Nights for Good Days, all thanks to the hard work of caring students and educators and the generosity of Scholastic.
***Please note: Since we typically work with 1,000 or more classrooms around the nation during this drive, our responses may be delayed. We deeply appreciate your patience as our staff works to get back to you as soon as possible.
