We continue our focus on giving back to the community! MAS participated in The Great Pajama Bedtime Story Drive sponsored by Scholastic. For each pair of pajamas donated, Scholastic donates a new book to create a Bedtime Story set. MAS students donated 68 pairs of pajamas and Principal Crawford delivered them to Children's Special Hospital in Mountainside this morning. MAS is proud to encourage bedtime reading with this service project and is excited that their donations will be matched with 68 books! #SDOCgivesback #pajamaprogram
