Teacher (showing a picture of a cancer patient): Sky is a girl. She is very sick. She used to have beautiful hair. But now she doesn’t have hair because the medicine she has to take makes her lose her hair. She can’t go home to her house. She has to stay in the hospital to get the medicine. That’s why she’s in her pajamas. When she gets better she will get to go home and her hair will grow back.

I want you to think about it. How lucky you are that you are healthy and you get to come to school and you get to go home with you parents at night.

Child: My daddy doesn’t have hair. Is it because he has to take strong medicine?

Teacher: No.

Another Child: I don’t like that picture. I want to see Sky smiling and playing.

Teacher: So what can we do to help Sky smile?

Children: We can play with her. We can buy her toys.

Teacher: That’s why we are wearing pajamas like Sky and collecting money today. The money you bring can help buy books and toys for Sky to have while she’s in the hospital.
