Pam McDonald
Member Since: 10/2022
Pam McDonald is a former career elementary educator. Pam developed her passion for working with kids early on in her hometown of Chicago. From volunteering in kindergarten classes at an early age to working for the Chicago Park District as a pianist during her days at Taft High School, Pam knew that her future was working with children. She continued that passion at the University of Illinois where she majored in Elementary Education, eventually moving on to the University of St. Thomas where she earned a Masters's degree in Gifted Education. Along the way, she taught in a variety of school districts throughout Illinois and Minnesota. Her favorite part of the school day was always exposing her students, especially her underserved gifted students to new ideas, new books, and undiscovered authors.
Now retired, Pam spends her days with her husband at Camp McDonald on the shores of Lake Marion in Lakeville, Minnesota. Most days she can be found kayaking, riding her bike around the lake, or reading in her favorite beach chair. Her best times are spent with the other campers… her four daughters, their husbands, and her eleven grandchildren.
The Christmas Heart, based on a true story, is her first children’s book.

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
