At the beginning of the school year. We set out on a goal to bring back the excitement of reading for students while involving our community. The goal? Have 100 community reader visits to our K-2 classrooms within the first 100 days of school.
📖 We are happy to report that we exceeded that goal and had over 200 reader visits in the first 100 days of school. Thank you to all of the readers who joined our Perry family. A very special thank you to Ms. Deb who made 54 visits and still joining us!
🌟To celebrate this achievement. Perry went Luau for Literacy 🌺 and invited our friend David Gorman - Author who gave a great presentation to the whole school and met with our 5th grade book club members. We also invited back past readers to thank them. And ended our night with a private Perry party at Splash Lagoon.
Please keep encouraging students to read at home for at least 20 minutes or more. Be on the lookout for our new reading goal.

Perry Elementary after school enrichment for third quarter.

The efforts and contributions of many African American educators and community leaders have helped Erie's Public Schools to become the district it is today. Thank you to all of the amazing individuals who help us continue #buildingexcellencetogether! We are especially grateful for our superintendent, Dr. Natalyn Gibbs, who is dedicated to bringing the community together and supporting our students and their families.

This month our students are learning about the important African American figures throughout history. You can stay up to date on what they are doing each week to celebrate Black History Month by visiting our website: https://www.eriesd.org/blackhistory.

Black History Month.
We did it Perry! The Perry team set a goal to have 100 volunteer reader visits to K-2 classrooms and a goal for grades 3-5 to read 100 books per classroom in the first 100 days. Not only did we meet the goal but we exceeded the goal.
To celebrate, we are inviting all Perry students and parents/guardians to Splash Lagoon for a private celebration. That’s right, Perry has the entire Splash Lagoon property to ourselves! This would not be possible without the support of United Way of Erie County. All families must register at the link below. Please reach out to Mr. Galloway with any questions.
