Students Discovered and Dreamed at the 2024 PAMKA Book Fair
Tri-Campus PAMKA Book Fair Chairs Alison Slone and Shane Mark, along with their wonderful team of volunteers, brought the excitement of reading to our community in the second week of November. Our spaces and students’ minds were transformed with the theme, Discover and Dream!
Thank you to Mary Guldin and Katherine Guerico for making our Primary School campus a reading extravaganza complete with PJ Night and engaging presentations for our Brookside students by authors and illustrators Saadia Faruqi, David Shannon, and Jerry Pallotta. Julie Millon and Jerad Ashby made sure that every Middle School student celebrated their creativity and love of books by welcoming author Gale Galligan.
A group of students from KIPP NJ TEAM Academy visited the Middle School and participated in Gale Galligan’s presentation. Many thanks to KIPP NJ teachers Shannon Marshall and Cali Burks for coordinating the visit, along with MKA faculty member Shanie Israel and our MKA student volunteers.
Thank you to fellow MKA parents Dean and Nicole Ehrich of Fat Rat Press for donating their creativity and time in designing this year’s book fair logo.
A special thank you to all the parents who gave their time and talent to make this special event possible. PAMKA is also grateful to Scholastic for their partnership and to our MKA faculty and staff for their continuous support.
