Cozy Night For Productive Days!

My students need pajamas! I know that sounds like an odd request, but having a good night's sleep is a huge compontent for a succesful school day!

My Students

This year, my students are from a mix of grades! During physical education, it is their time to shine in a different way in school, through physical activity. It's a way for students to see their skills outside of the the classroom.

Many of my students are from low-income households and live in small, cramped, and crowded spaces.

There is not much green space or large safe spaces for them to run around and play in. Physical Education class gives them the chance to grow in a way they often could not outside of school. In order to get my students up and moving, I need materials that cater to their size, growth, and development.

My Project

Sometimes, I see my students come to school in the same clothes they wore the day before, not changing into pajamas because they don't have any. Putting on a clean, fresh pair of PJs at night is such an essential part of getting a good night's sleep. All children should be able to be comfortable when they go to bed at night, so that they are well rested and eager to go when they come to school the next day.

I've had students tell me they don't even know what pajamas are; so being able to have some on hand for some of my most vunerable students would be an amazing thing.

Something so simple as a clean pair of new pajamas can change a child's whole outlook on the day ahead.
