PAMKA's 2017 "Wild West...Saddle Up and Read" Book Fair Was A Huge Success!

PAMKA's 2017 "Wild West...Saddle Up and Read", the largest Scholastic Book Fair in the country, has once again been a truly resounding success. Led by Tri-Campus Chairs Catherine Halbert and Erica Amsinger, our magnificent PAMKA volunteers transformed spaces and organized events that brought a sense of adventure to the MKA community.

Marc Brown and R.L. Stine helped kick of the Book Fair at our Sunday Event when they delighted an audience of children and adults with their newest book, Mary McScary. Brad Meltzer did double duty, inspiring both our upper school students and our youngest cougars at the primary school. Students at the primary school also enjoyed wonderfully interactive presentations by Peter Brown and Peter Reynolds. Jordan Sonnenblick, Karuna Riazi, and Francisco Stork motivated our middle school students to believe in their abilities, always dream big, and keep writing.

As always, thanks go out to Scholastic for their support, especially Judy Newman (a former MKA parent) and Carol Levine, and to the parents on all three campuses that dedicate so much of their time to make this remarkable event possible.
