Pajama Drive

"Valley View School held the Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive from November 21st through December 1st. Thanks to the support and generosity of the Valley View Community, we were able to donate 123 pairs of new pajamas to children in need! In fact, those children who are facing adversity will not only receive a cozy pair of P.J.'s, but a wonderful book to cozy up with thanks to the program's partnership with Scholastic Book Clubs...a perfect gift of warmth and reading!"
