Third graders at Redgranite Elementary School are going to kick off the 10th Annual Pajama Drive. Due to the current situation, the students will be holding a virtual Pajama Drive. The most successful year of the Pajama Drive was during the school year of 2016-2017 when students collected 101 sets of brand new pajamas and raised over $1,000.00 in monetary donations to aid in the purchase of additional sets of pajamas. This year, we are hoping to collect more than 200 sets of brand new pajamas for families in need here in Waushara County. All donations will be donated to the Waushara County Christmas Project. The virtual Pajama Drive was inspired by Redgranite Third Grader, Cadence Lederhaus. While at home, Cadence has been reaching out to friends and family asking for donations for the Pajama Drive. Many of her friends and family have been shopping online and shipping the pajamas to Cadence’s house. Some people have been making monetary donations and Cadence has bought additional sets of pajamas using the donations. So far she has collected 14 sets of pajamas. Here is how to participate in the Virtual Pajama Drive:
Purchase brand new sets of pajamas online and have them shipped to your residence. Hold onto all donations until the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. During your child’s Open House in August, drop all donations off at your child’s school’s office. If you have additional questions please contact: Mrs. Julie Petersen, 3rd Grade Teacher – Redgranite. Phone: (920) 566-2357 ext. 2126 or petersenj@wautoma.k12.wi.us.
