Join Preschool for Pajama Day!

Posted on by

To celebrate the Month of the Young Child, the GRCC Preschool will be hosting a pajama day on Thursday, April 10th! Staff, students, and children across campus are encouraged wear their pajamas that day to support and encourage donations of new or gently used pajamas to benefit Bethany Christian Services. Donation boxes will be located both at the Preschool and in the Child Development/Education Office (266 Main).

Most of the children in need are in the foster care system and are waiting to be reunited with their family or adopted by a family. This project will highlight the importance of healthy social and emotional development for all children by allowing these children to feel safe and secure in their own pajamas. Larger sized pajamas (children’s sizes 6-12) are in higher demand, we will accept any size.

Thank you in advance for your participation!
