Just about every school district has a dress code, but Tuesday, Sour Lake Elementary in the Hardin Jefferson ISD allowed and even encouraged students to wear pajamas to school.

It was all part of Pajamas Across America Day on Giving Tuesday, in which the public is encouraged to help non-profit organizations.

Students at Sour Lake Elementary were allowed to wear pajamas to school if they brought at least $1 to contribute to Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

The organization builds and delivers beds to children who don't have their own beds.

The students raised more than $1,100 and it was matched.

The students can certainly sleep well, knowing what a difference they're making in the lives of other children.
