Zooming in from Boston, Jerry Pallotta, author of approximately 100 books, including 26 titles in the “Who Would Win?” reader series, visited boys in pre-k through fourth grade on Friday, November 19. Pallotta’s fast-paced presentation was filled with stories about his book-writing process and his life growing up near the ocean. The fun facts and props he shared, such as a giant shark jaw, kept the students interested and engaged

Dressed in their Gilman best, each third grader took his turn in front of the green screen in the MakerLab and then in front of Lower School classes, next to the portrait he painted of a famous person in history. Students presented confidently and proudly on their subjects' life history, their accomplishments, the obstacles they faced, and how they overcame them.
