Students at John F. Kennedy Intermediate School in Deer Park learned the value of a dollar and gained apprecia- tion for a good book during a recent school-wide book fair. Shelves of books covering various genres, reading levels and interests filled the gym. With money in hand, students excitedly browsed through the selection, seeking out their most desired author or topic for purchase. The book fair attracted families from throughout Deer Park. A laser light show was even held during the evening session. The JFK PTA and parent volunteers contributed significantly to the event's success.

Shown in the top photo, Deer Park John F. Kennedy jocks pick out stories that highlight their favorite sports and purchase some candy for a reading time snack. Shown in the photo at left, Deer Park John F. Kennedy students and friends pick out the same book, Me and My Kitten. The girls were excited about the bell collar included in this informational guide.
