Second Graders Launch Pajama Drive to Help Children in Need

Ms. Cavuto's second grade class at Theodore Roosevelt is making a difference in their community this winter through a heartwarming pajama drive.
As part of their Reader's Theatre project, the class read and performed “The Practically Perfect Pajamas” by Erik Brooks. Every second grade class at TR brainstorms, plans and implements a community service project related to the theme of their Reader's Theatre book, and Ms. Cavuto's students chose to help ensure every child can be warm and cozy at bedtime.
Working collaboratively with librarian Ms. McGee, music teacher Ms. Murphy and art teacher Ms. Brustman, the class organized a Pajama Drive to benefit EJ's PJs, an organization dedicated to providing new pajamas to children in need. Ms. McGee coordinated the effort, bringing together the students' academic learning with meaningful community action.
The Pajama Drive launched on Jan. 12 and will continue through Feb. 13. Community members are invited to donate new pajamas at the school to support this student-led initiative.
Through this project, Ms. Cavuto's second graders are learning that even small acts of kindness can make a big impact in the lives of others.
