PBEA Members' Storm Damage
Last night, Kelly Haupt (1st Grade at Holiday Park) and Connie Markowski (recently retired 2nd grade at Center) suffered damage to their homes during the storms. Kelly’s basement flooded and she lost everything without insurance. A tree landed on Connie’s house and made the top floor unlivable for at least 8 weeks.

PBEA supports our Fallen Heroes
In light of the recent tragic events, the Plum Borough Education Association organized a district-wide fundraiser on Wednesday, April 8, 2009 to honor the fallen heroes of the Pittsburgh Police. The Plum School District Employees and Elementary Students wore black to honor the three officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. We are proud to make a donation of $4,684.50 to the Pittsburgh Fallen Heroes Fund. This money will go directly towards the college fund of the children who lost their fathers on that tragic day. A big thank you to Officer Kost, the entire Plum Police Force, and all of those who risk their lives every day to protect us.
