About:
Erica Sherlock’s second-grade class at East Islip’s Timber Point Elementary School recently organized a schoolwide drive, collecting 153 pairs of pajamas for the Pajama Program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting a comforting bedtime routine for children affected by instability. Scholastic Book Clubs will also donate a new book for each pair of pajamas donated.
The second-graders created posters to display around the building and used Timber Point’s morning announcements to make the entire school aware of their event.
“The families of Timber Point did an amazing job helping with this project,” said Principal Danielle Naccarato. “A big thank you to all who helped make this such a successful learning experience. These lessons of kindness and giving are truly priceless.”
