They may also wear cozy, “appropriate” pajamas for the day if they wish. Otherwise they should wear their uniforms. For safety reasons, footwear should be uniform sneakers or shoes.

At the BEAR Day Assembly Baldwin mother Judy Boreham and her daughter, Olivia Boreham Wing '16 will give a presentation on the important work that Philadelphia’s Ronald MacDonald House does for children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life threatening illnesses. Families who travel to Philadelphia in order for their children receive treatment have access to a nurturing, home-like place to stay, home-cooked meals and transportation to and from the hospitals.

For the past two years our girls have participated in the 76ers Read for Ronald Read-a-Thon, along with students from many other schools. The proceeds from this read-a-thon went to ensure that families had the services of the Ronald MacDonald House. Please encourage your daughters to get sponsors for this reading event. All kinds of reading count: reading to yourself, being read to by a parent or teacher, and reading for assignments at school.  Information and sponsor envelopes are going home in next week’s Thursday folder.  The read-a-thon will last through the month of February. Participating in this way can help your daughters get better at reading while raising money for a good cause! We look forward to a great day on Jan. 28, dedicated to reading!
