The MPE Student Council is holding a Pajama Drive from Mon. Dec. 3rd to Wed. Dec.12th!

 

Please donate brand-new pajamas in all sizes, from newborn to adult - for all seasons, but especially for winter.

 

Pajamas must be complete sets—a top and bottom or an appropriate nightgown

 

For every pair of pajamas that is donated through the Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive, Scholastic Book Clubs will donate a brand-new book to Pajama Program to give kids affected by instability a good night—for a good day!

 

The pajama drive is organized in partnership with Pajama Program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting a comforting bedtime routine for children affected by instability in order to help them thrive.

Guidelines for Staying Home When Sick:

 

The best thing you can do is keep your children home when sick. This will help stop the spread of illness to other children and teachers. Keep them home when they show any of these symptoms:

• fever of 100 degrees F or higher
• vomiting, nausea and/or diarrhea
• headache and chills
• red, watery eyes with yellow drainage
• sore throat
• lack of appetite
• fatigue

REMINDERS: 

• Children should stay home until they have been naturally without fever for at least 24 hours
• Please do not give children fever-reducing medication and then send them to school
