Perry students learned about different reptiles during an assembly on Thursday. Rudy, from Keystone Herpetology Institute, shared valuable information about these animals while some volunteers showed them off to the students and staff. This assembly was provided free of cost because one of the volunteers is Dustin Taucci a third grade student at Perry!
Thank you to Dustin, Rudy and all the volunteers for a wonderful and informative experience!
Please take a look through the lost and found here at Perry elementary and let us know if anything belongs to your child.
Anything that is claimed will be set aside with your child's name on it.
Anything not claimed will be donated.
Have a fantastic summer! 🏖️
🎉Today we celebrated former Perry students with a grad parade through the building then they enjoyed time on the playground! Best wishes to all Hamburg Area Seniors! 🎊
🎂🎉Congratulations to Perry students who celebrate a birthday in June!🥳🎈
This wraps up the birthday book giveaway for this school year. Thank you to our amazing PTO for sponsoring the books and those who recommended the titles.
As part of the PBIS program, PTO sponsored a BMX assembly for the third trimester reward. Nick and Brandon entertained us with bicycle tricks and jumps but also talked with the students about bike safety, perseverance and anti-bullying. Special shout-out to our 5th grade teachers for participating in the fun! 🚴
