Dressed in pajamas featuring everything from spider-man to pigs, and carrying everything from blankets to teddy bears, children gathered at Blue Ridge Elementary School February 16 for a special fun-filled event. “Bedtime Stories at Blue Ridge” provided the opportunity for families to spend an evening dining together, making a craft and enjoying a special story.
Students from the National Honor Society at Blue Ridge helped make the evening possible by receiving food donations and coordinating events based on the book “If you Give a Moose a Muffin” by Laura Numeroff. Young children and adults enjoyed making moose sock puppets, wearing pretend moose antlers to walk through a make-shift forest, and listening to the moose antics in the story.
“Bedtime Stories at Blue Ridge” was made possible through a joint effort with National Honor Society at Blue Ridge, the Blue Ridge School District and Susquehanna County CARES (Childcare, Agencies, Resources and Educational Services.) CARES is a non-profit group dedicated to enhancing quality early care and education in the county, and supports Pennsylvania’s Promise for Children, because every child is Pennsylvania’s future.
