Volunteer Training
The next Volunteer Training Session will be on September 23 at 9:00 a.m. in the Brookwood Elementary School Cafeteria.
If you have not attended a training yet this year, please plan to attend this one. Training must be completed in order to volunteer in the school.
Special Olympics Parade
Friday, September 27 is a very busy day for our school and this year, during our first Spirit Day and Our Day of Awesomeness, we have the opportunity to celebrate some pretty special students! Brookwood Elementary is sending four Special Olympians to the Special Olympics. Please make every effort to ensure that your kids are at school on-time so they can join in the Special Olympics Send-Off Parade and celebrate our amazing Olympians!
Step It Up Kids!
Our Fitness Fundraiser has been really great for our school goals this year. In case you haven't seen it previously, check out Brookwood Elementary or Brookwood Elementary PTO Facebook pages or You Tube to see a video about how these contributions will help remodel our media center and fund educational grants. Fundraising closed on August 27 and Our Day of Awesomeness will be Friday, September 27. That Friday will also be our first Spirit Day so don't forget to wear your Brookwood Spirit Wear to school!
Do You Want to Volunteer?
For Our Day of Awesomeness, on Friday, September 27, we will need volunteers while our children participate in the fitness celebration. This is a reward for the ENTIRE school for doing so well on this fundraiser. We will have three sessions, grouping the grade levels together (K&1, 2&3, 4&5), and will need about 20 volunteers, for each session, in order to ensure coverage. Look for a sign-up coming soon from our room parents. We will also share the sign-up link on the Brookwood Elementary PTO Facebook page so you can sign up there as well.
