On Wednesday, the annual grade 3 pajama and book drive came to a close, with 156 pairs of pajamas and 406 books collected. The goods will be donated to the Pajama Program, an organization that will distribute them to children living in shelters and temporary housing. 

The annual assembly celebrating the effort was held virtually this year, but key parts of the tradition remained, including students wearing pajamas and a special story reading by Butch Keller, upper school division head, who read Pat Zietlow Miller’s “Be Kind” to the students in attendance.
