Students and staff at Mackrille wore their pajamas to school today for the PJ Day for the Kids campaign! Everyone gathered in the auditorium to sing holiday songs, and the kids received a nice surprise when Santa entered the room and joined in the sing-along! PJ Day is a fun and meaningful way to raise funds and awareness for kids fighting cancer at Connecticut Children's, as families donate money to wear their PJs.
