The Connecticut Children’s Medical Center sponsored a fundraiser, “PJ Day” on Dec. 12, during which both cash and warm pajamas were donated. In conjunction with the medical center’s program, Wells Road Intermediate School also collected pajama donations for Beyond Bedtime, a program that gets warm PJs to children in need. This year Wells Road families collected 55 pairs of PJs that were donated to the Springfield Housing Authority for children in foster care. Since 2010 Wells Road has donated 2,061 pairs of PJs to children in need.
