We would like to welcome all new and returning families to the 2011-2012 school year for Brooks Elementary. The purpose of our PTSO is to work together as parents, grandparents, families, teachers, staff and businesses to support our students and allow them to develop in a positive environment at Brooks. Parental involvement is the key to our success. With everyone’s support, we will be able to further provide learning opportunities, educational materials and new forms of educational technology.
There are many ways to get involved at Brooks. One very simple way is to become a member of Brooks PTSO. Join today for $5.00 and stay updated with all the happenings at Brooks by receiving our email newsletter. It’s never too late to become a member of Brooks PTSO!
Another way you can get involved at Brooks is becoming a Brooks Partner. A Partner can be a business, a family, a grandparent, a neighborhood group, etc. Essentially, a Partner is anyone who wants to contribute to our success at Brooks. If you are interested in becoming a member and/or a Partner, please see the links below.
Something new that we are implementing this year is our “Wall of Appreciation”. This is a wall dedicated to those individuals, families and businesses who have contributed to the success of our school through membership and partnership.
Below is a list of PTSO sponsored events. Please consider attending, volunteering or contributing in any way you can. We look forward to our year ahead, and we thank you for your support!
