Tomorrow $1.00+ Comfy Clothes/PJ Dress Down for CCMC
This Friday, December 11th, students may wear “comfy” clothes (sweatpants, sweatshirts, t-shirts) or weather- & school-appropriate PJs to school for a minimum $1.00 donation. All money collected, which should come to school with the student next Friday, and will benefit the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.
CCMCs annual PJ day, which many schools and businesses across the state participate in, helps not only raise money for a great cause, but is in honor of all the brave kids fighting cancer at Connecticut Children’s and elsewhere.
Please remember, students must adhere to the all Saint James School dress down guidelines (noted in the school handbook) and PJs/attire must have sleeves (short sleeves are okay) & long pants. Also, no slippers due to safety concerns.
