Glen Head School Welcomes Author Joe Gatto To New Library Ribbon Cutting Ceremony!

On September 10, 2024, Glen Head Principal Tom Sheehan, Library Media Specialists Ms. Christine Kingsley and Ms. Stephanie Smith, along with faculty and students welcomed author Mr. Joe Gatto to the ribbon cutting ceremony of the new Glen Head Library!

Mrs. Kingsley said, “It was such a wonderful way to introduce our new library at Glen Head School to our students! Today, we cut the ribbon and welcomed Joe Gatto, great dad, comedian, actor, and author of his new children’s book, Where’s Bearry? The kids loved it all! They didn’t know where to look first!”

Mr. Joe Gatto is a North Shore father, comedian, actor, producer, and star of the hit series “Impractical Jokers”. Along with assistance from his children, Mr. Gatto read his heartwarming book about Remo’s search to find his missing stuffed teddy bear so he can go to sleep more soundly.
