Porte ton pyj

Wear your pyjamas to school in exchange for a donation: a small gesture that makes a big difference!

Everything you need to know

How it works

Porte ton pyj is an opportunity to have a fun day while raising your students’ awareness of the importance of helping others. This is a turnkey campaign, and with our support, it is guaranteed to be a success!

When: Your school can participate either on February 20, during the big provincial day, or on a date of your choice before the end of the school year.
How: Invite students to come to school in their pyjamas in exchange for a donation. Use the materials at your disposal to make it a festive event while instilling the values of mutual aid and solidarity in your students.

An event in Enfant Soleil’s colours

Several promotional items will be provided free of charge: the official campaign poster, containers to collect the donations, stickers for the participants, a letter for the parents and a giant cheque to announce the amount raised.

You will also receive a digital kit that contains web banners, the poster visual, photos, and the story of the campaign's child ambassador.

To help you with your fundraising efforts, we'll send you a document listing the different ways you can submit your donation.

Participation that does a world of good

Special thanks to Éditions Passe-Temps, which will be donating to a school the complete 156-book Escalire collection for grade 1 to 4 students. The winning school will be chosen from among all schools participating in this year's campaign!

"On pyjama day, we learned about the realities faced by children at our school and by other children in Quebec. We also talked about my children, who were born very premature, and the brother of one of my students, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy. It was a day full of sharing and emotions."

Sarah Durand

Teacher at École Vinet-Souligny

"I had goosebumps all day as I collected the donations from the classrooms. The kids even 'broke' their piggybanks and took the time to listen to the sick children’s testimonials. Thank you for this wonderful initiative, which was a nice balm on our heart right before spring break."

Marie-Hélène Bouillon

Rehabilitation agent at École Mgr Belzile

"The children made some wonderful realizations. Several parents wrote to me privately afterward. They were touched by the event and by their children’s reactions. A big thank you for your support that made this activity so easy!"

1st-2nd grade teacher at École Félix-Antoine-Savard
