Today more than 2 million people read Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney, calling for an end to the early education achievement gap. Tropical Elementary helped to accomplished this. Students from Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten wear red pajamas and had a “Red Pajama Party” at the library of the school. With the help of parents, teachers and the PTA we had a wonderful time.
