Collecting New Pajamas for area children in need: Reminder that the PJ collection boxes will be in the Peabody and Sanborn lobbies until Friday! Please consider donating a pair of children’s pajamas in any size (baby to big kid). Pajamas must be new. All donations will be distributed directly to area children in low income and homeless situations through Cradles to Crayons. The drive is being led by a group of 8th Grade girls from CMS and Nashoba, and they’re working with all three Concord elementary schools, CMS, and NBS to provide an opportunity to make a donation with your child. Children can help choose the pajamas — something we know every child loves — and our hope is for them to make a connection to helping another child in need. All donations will be picked up on Friday, March 31st. Thank you!
