It was a labor of love, providing warmth and comfort to hundreds of families in need this winter season. Kelly Grundy’s 4th grade class at Herriman Elementary School embarked on a “Pajama Project” before the holidays. It was all hands-on deck as the students set out to collect as many new sets of pajamas as they possible could for children at The Road Home family shelter. Word quickly spread about the “Pajama Project” and pajama donations started pouring in.
Students even made individual tags for each of the pajamas and added cute pictures and words of encouragement for the children who would receive them. The students also helped tie ribbon around each pajama and organized them into sizes. Ms. Grundy said many students even learned some awesome folding skills.
The “Pajama Project” was a huge success with students collecting 261 sets. Additional donations came in from Walmart and Target, so the 4th graders were able to deliver a total of 423 pajamas to the Road Home Shelter just in time for Christmas.
Congratulations, Herriman Elementary students! Keep up the great work warming the hearts of families in need.
