What an inspiring day! Our 4th grade classes visited the Erie Art Museum Tuesday as part of the Erie Arts and Culture Educational Passport program. Classes were guided through some of the museum's exhibits and then had chance to create artwork using the technique of that exhibit's artist such exploring sketching like Frank Novel.

Happy Autism Awareness Day! AWARENESS is the first step in ACCEPTANCE and what spurs ACTION. We can't wait to begin celebrating this month as a school family! ❤️🧡💙🩷💚💜💛to all of our teachers, aides and staff; students, and families for sharing your knowledge with us and helping us grow!
Mrs. Stellwagon's Kindergarten class was spreading Spring kindness on Friday before break. Along with some help from their 5th grade buddies, they delivered positive notes and compliments to teachers and even shared some sweet treats! Thank you for brightening our day!
Our second grade scientists were at it again last week! This time they used their new engineering skills to design and build peeps houses which they then delivered to their Kindergarten buddies! What a way to spread Spring sweetness and learn science at the same time! 🩷🩵💜🐰🐥
When we return from Spring Break PB will begin celebrating Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! We would love for you to join Team Pfeiffer Burleigh for the Autism Society NWPA Walk for Autism! Please use this link to register.

Next up for them is a workshop at school with the Hagen History Museum and then a field trip to the museum.
