Kindergarten enjoyed a visit from the expERIEnce Children's Museum on Friday as part of the Educational Passport Program. Made possible by a grant from Erie Insurance and in collaboration with Erie Arts and Culture and four of the United Way of Erie County community schools, each of our classes will have an in school enrichment experience AND a field trip this year! We are grateful for opportunities like these that extend learning beyond the classroom and increase engagement in school. #CommunitySchoolsInAction

Do you see your Panther among these smiling faces? Pfeiffer Burleigh's Title 1 team and United Way of Erie County Community Schools teamed up this week for one of PB's favorite family events: WINTERFEST! We could not have pulled it off without the help of our partners: Therapy Dogs United , Erie Insurance , PB's SWPBIS Team, our mental health specialist-Ms. Wells, and our many staff volunteers. Thank you to our art teacher, Mrs. Hirsch, who created the snow globe selfie station and the Sunshine Group of Erie who donated handmade knitted hats for everyone! As always a big thank you to all of the families who attended! Add your pics in the comments. Info will be coming home soon for our next family fun night. We hope to see you there.

We had a howling good time today with C Wolf and Ms. Laina! Thank you to the Erie SeaWolves for visiting Pfeiffer Burleigh. They shared the book "A Mascot's Tale: The Untold Story of C.Wolf".

Details will be coming home as part of Read Across America next week.⚾️📚📖🐾
