PACER Program Returns To Pine Grove Manor School

February 18, 2015 School News

PACER 2-18-153
Township police officer Nick Gambino read “Fly Away Home” by Eve Bunting to 3rd Grade students at Pine Grove Manor School.

A dozen years after it was ended, a program through which township police officers read to children at Pine Grove Manor School has been given new life.

The program, Police And Children Engaging in Reading, or PACER, allows elementary school children to see police officers in a different light, said township police Sgt. Sean Hebbon. Hebbon and Officer Nick Gambino were on hand Feb. 18 to read to the 3rd Grade students of Kim Buchinski and Phyllis Majewski.
