This summer, students at Park Avenue Elementary School in Amityville had an opportunity to participate in a Book Fair with student volunteers from Amityville Memorial High School.

The books that were a part of the fair were donated and students got to choose which books they might be interested in and read them over the summer. The high school’s student volunteers, who are members of the Warrior Nation club, welcomed their younger peers off the bus in the morning, read to the students in the library, assisted the teachers throughout the day and helped out during dismissal.

Some of the students that volunteered aspire to become educators as a career for the future. Park Avenue’s Book Fair was a great way for them to get an idea of what it would be like to work with students and help out with teachers and staff.
