Paulette Pepin, Upper Peninsula Chapter President, has lived is Escanaba since she was eight, and has a Master’s Degree in Special Education. Teaching has always been her passion, and she has been teaching in Gladstone for 17 years. “My love of reading and wish to share it with all of my students led me to Pajama Program. When Scholastic got on board, and shared this amazing program through their book club website, I knew immediately that this was something I wanted to be part of.” Each year since, her class has opted to forgo a gift exchange and instead support Pajama Program. They share the gift of pajamas at Christmas and have a pajama party to celebrate! Their generosity inspired Paulette to want to do more, which led her to taking on the role of Chapter President.
