News & Updates from Barber National Institute
Congratulations to Ashleigh Dzurik, a teacher in the Elizabeth Lee Black School, who received the “Golden Apple Award” sponsored by Edinboro University and WJET/Fox 66. Ashleigh was nominated for this honor by Alex Pelc and his mother, Tricia Pelc. Because of Ashleigh's dedication and support, Alex achieved so much progress that he was able to transition to his home school district. Will March come in like a lion or come in like a lamb? For fitness enthusiasts, it will be coming in like a beast! The national Project Search program is collaborating with the Barber National Institute, AHN Saint Vincent Hospital, the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR), the Erie County I.D./MH Office, and the Erie School District. You don’t have to look far to see how digital technology has transformed education over the past year. As the pandemic forced schools to close, digital technology enabled students to continue learning at home, and in hybrid education as schools mixed remote and in-person instruction. The Pennsylvania Departments of Health and Human Services has provided resources relating to the COVID-19 vaccine for those with limited or no internet access. It's not too early to start thinking about a Valentine's Day gift for that special someone! Just shop online and the Barber National Institute will receive a portion of every purchase when you name us the beneficiary at checkout. Twenty-five families from the Elizabeth Lee Black School received meals prepared by Underdog BBQ and donated by employees in the City of Erie Department of Refuse. Meals were prepackaged and provided during a no-contact, drive-through distribution. On behalf of our students and families, thank you for this delicious treat! Youth and adult artists are invited to submit their artwork for the Jay & Mona Kang Art Show & Sale at the Barber National Institute.

Special thanks to the Knights of Columbus Council 425 who recently donated $750 to our Corry campus! The money was raised through donations by parishioners of St. Thomas Catholic Church and a one-day collection at Sander's Markets. The Knights have raised over $20,000 for the Institute over the last 20 years and we could not be more grateful!
