PTO News and Recognition
- 2019-2020 Yearbooks: Brookwood PTO will begin selling yearbooks online after fall break and orders will be open until Spring 2020. Please continue to check the Buzz to see when orders are open. The price point of the yearbooks will increase to $35 this year to help support the cost of adding in an additional 8 pages to the yearbook. Our yearbook club will continue to design and create the yearbook under the guidance of Ms. Paluzzi. 5th-grade ads will be available at a later date and information will come home after the new year regarding this process.
- Attention Bobcat Families! Please go to www.brookwoodpto.com and visit the calendar section of our website. We are diligently working to enter important dates, events, and event details and will soon link reservation and payment options to the new calendar. We are trying to simplify information for families so all you have to do is "click the calendar" and you will have everything you need all in one place.
