Please join us in supporting the Cradles to Crayons PJ Drive, run in conjunction with the Boston Bruins. The Boston-area goal this year is to collect 15,000 new pairs of PJs. Plus this year, the Boston Bruins have some great prizes for the school that donates the most PJs! Stay tuned to find out more in the next Heartbeat.
We will be collecting new PJs in the school lobby throughout the month of February and at the 5th Grade vs. Faculty Basketball Game on Thursday, February 9th. Thanks for your support.
