Pembroke Teachers Federation

Press Release:

The Pembroke Teachers’ Federation (PTF) will be hosting a 5K walk/run on April 26, at 9 a.m. in the village of Corfu to help raise funds for their community. This year, the event will support Genesee County Mental Health, an organization dedicated to supporting county residents with mental illness. Through their programs, community members can meet with professionals to reach their highest level of functioning.

PTF has a longstanding history of supporting Genesee County Mental Health and is looking forward to continuing this tradition. Proceeds from the event will go directly to benefit those served by the organization through different services, including:

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
• Trauma- Based Treatments
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
• Forensic Services
• Care Management
• And so much more

“Providing mental health services to our community is something we take very seriously. We want to show our students, families, and colleagues that it’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to talk to someone and it’s especially okay not to be okay,” said PTF Union President Arron Brown. “Mental health struggles aren’t something you can see by looking at someone, so our job is to make the people around us feel comfortable enough to ask for help when they need it.”

For those interested in joining PTF and the wider community to raise awareness and support mental health in Genesee County can sign up by checking out the PTF Facebook page or contacting civison@pembrokecsd.org for a registration link. Early registration is available for $15 until March 17. All registration after that date will be $20.

Press Release:

The Pembroke Teachers' Federation and Homeslice 33 Pizzeria in Corfu teamed up for a great cause on Oct. 18.

Members of the PTF volunteered at Homeslice to make pizzas, work behind the counter, and greeted community members as they entered the pizzeria! Members were quickly put to work as the community came out to support this cause! 

Homeslice 33 Pizzeria was generous to donate a portion of the night's proceeds to the PTF. In turn, the PTF will be making a donation to the Genesee County Mental Health services! 

The PTF and Homeslice want to thank all of the students, families, and community members who came out to support this great event!

The Pembroke Teachers’ Federation hosted their inaugural Sprinkles Night at Sprinkles Creamery in Corfu. 

Teachers worked behind the counter, with some help from the wonderful employees of Sprinkles, to serve delicious frozen treats! Sprinkles generously donated a portion of the night’s proceeds and tips to the PTF Scholarship Fund, which benefits graduating seniors at Pembroke Junior/Senior High School.

“It was an awesome night. Students, families, and community members came out for this wonderful event. The Pembroke community, time and time again supports our students and teachers” PTF president Arron K. Brown. The PTF can’t wait until next year’s event!
