NMS PJ Day for Dana Farber Raised Excellent Funds
On Friday, September 25, the Nichols Middle School community participated in a Pajammin' Day to raise funds for cancer research as we went for "Gold for Kids with Cancer."
All week announcements were read explaining how children in hospitals across the world, but even more specifically across our own Middleborough community, are sometimes spending their days in PJs because they are dealing with cancer. And so, we decided to have our own PJ Day to help raise some needed money to help eradicate this horrible disease as we went for Gold.
We had many students participate as they brought in a dollar to wear their PJs for the day.
We raised almost $500 in this one day effort.
The money we raised was sent to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute Jimmy Fund in honor and support of Dylan Berio, Middleborough's own child battling cancer.
When contacting Mrs. Dawn Berio and telling her our good news, she couldn't have been prouder of our students, our community, and Mr. Rothemich and Ms. Hudson, our Student Council Advisors, for running the event.
The students had an excellent time wearing their PJs and eating outside during lunch.
Thank you all. Please enjoy some of the photos from the day.
