'Tis the Season
Lunch with Santa
PBEA held another successful Lunch with Santa for all of our members and their families on Saturday, November 26th. Each child enjoyed their time with Santa and had the opportunity to give the big guy their very own wish lists! Thank you to all the members who attended the event and donated a toy to give to Toys for Tots.
Sugar Plum Days
Come join PBEA and the entire community of Plum as we kick off the annual Sugar Plum Days on Wednesday, December 14th. This year's event will be held at the Plum Senior Community Center and will include food, drinks, crafts, Kid's Christmas Karaoke, and a visit from Santa. More Information.
Fall Festival in the Park - THANK YOU!
On October 29, 2011 the Plum Borough Education Association sponsored a fundraiser for the Griffith family, in memory of mother Kim and daughters Mikeala and Brenna, whose lives were taken far too early in a tragic flash flood this past August. With love, generosity, and a sense of community, hundreds of people attended The Fall Festival and evening Boo-sino events and helped raise over $25,000.
Such a total would not have been possible if not for the scores of businesses and organizations that so freely offered their services, products, and expertise. On behalf of the Plum Borough Education Association and the entire community, THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this a very special event for very special people.

Deepest Sympathy
On August 19, 2011, a flash flood tragically took the lives of Kimberly Griffith and her daughters, Brenna and Mikaela. PBEA wishes to extend our deepest sympathy to the family, friends, teachers at Center Elementary School and the staff at Linton Middle School, where Kimberly worked as a nurse. Their loss in unimaginable and their lives forever changed.

Supporting Our Past Members
Again this year, each Friday in January, the faculty and staff are encouraged to dress down to support various scholarship funds in honor of past PBEA Members. The Elementary Schools will donate to the Tracy McGuire Scholarship Fund, the Junior High will donate to the Mary Lou D'Ambrosio Scholarship Fund, and the High School will donate to the Robert J. Wingenroth Scholarship Fund.
December Events
Thank you to all of those who attended our December events! Without you, these events would not be such a huge success. During our Lunch with Santa and Sugar Plum Days event, we were able to donate three overflowing boxes of toys to Toys for Tots!
