Jonathan Law hosted a virtual PJ Day on Friday, December 11, in support of the CT Children’s Care Center, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to improve the ability for children to access needed health care. Students and staff tweeted pictures of themselves with the #PJDay hashtag, money was donated to the charity for each photo that was tweeted. Advocate News Editors Stephanie Caron and Gillian Rees interviewed Jonathan Law Principal Dr. Thompson about the PJ Day.

Stephanie Caron & Gillian Rees: Do you think PJ day was a success?

Dr. Thompson: I do think PJ Day was a success. We were able to raise $150 for The Connecticut Children’s Hospital. 

SC & GR: Why did Jonathan Law participate in PJ day?

DT: Abby is my best friend’s daughter who was diagnosed with a rare cancer a few years ago. While I am so happy to let you know that she is doing well, the family’s struggles were immense. They were so grateful to CT Children’s Hospital for the care given to Abby that they began participating in this fundraising event. It has been incredible to witness our school community support this cause over the years and I am so grateful to everyone. 

SC & GR: How did students and teachers participate this year from home? 

DT: Our Lawmazings tweeted out their PJ pictures with the #PJDay to the advocate and for every picture, a dollar was donated up to $150! So we met our goal thanks to our incredible school community! We participate in PJ Day as part of “Team Abby.” 

SC & GR: How much money did Law raise? 

DT: We were able to raise $150 for The Connecticut Children’s Hospital. 

SC & GR: Do you think Law will participate in another PJ day this school year? 

DT: I know there will be some spirit day activities when we come back from the winter break so maybe another PJ Day in support of this worthy cause will be on the menu. Stay tuned.
