16th Annual Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive

ABOUT THE DRIVE

We are excited to partner with Scholastic for the 16th Annual Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive! Every year, hundreds of classrooms around the nation collect brand new pajamas to support the children that Beyond Bedtime supports. As is tradition, Scholastic has pledged to match every pair of donated pajamas with a brand-new storybook, up to 100,000 books!  

HOW IT WORKS

All educators must register their classes/schools to participate in the Drive. After registration, teachers may begin collecting pajamas with their students. Classroom drives usually last a few months, though teachers can choose to run their drives for any length of time from September through December 5. We ask that teachers end their drives and report their pajama collections by December 5. You’ll receive an email with next steps upon registering. 

After Beyond Bedtime shares the final total of pajamas collected, Scholastic will donate a new book for every pair of pajamas collected, up to 100,000 books. Beyond Bedtime will distribute the donated new books to Program Partners in the months after December.  

At the conclusion of the drive, thousands more children across the nation will have access to essential tools needed to have brighter tomorrows, all thanks to the hard work of caring students, educators, and the generosity of Scholastic.
