PTA Weekly Update
September 16, 2024
Good morning Huskie Families,
Our classroom competitions have wrapped up, but our membership drive continues through Tuesday. Please consider supporting our efforts by joining the PTA.
This week kicks off our Charleston Wraps Fall Fundraising program. Catalogs were sent home in backpacks on Friday, details below.
The PTA Art Reflections Program is accepting submissions now through October 17. This year’s theme is “I Belong.” All students are eligible to participate, encourage your kids to get creative!
Spirit Socks & Shirt orders should all be sent home in backpacks by the middle of this week!
Anti-Bully week is just around the corner. We are excited to welcome the Pro-Kids Show on October 6 to kick off this week of awareness.
Keep reading for info on events, activities, and volunteer opportunities at Spring Brook. And don't forget to check out our website - it's a one-stop-shop for all things Spring Brook.
Have a good week!
Class competitions closed Friday. Kindergarten maintained its strong lead and will be rewarded with a special treat! Second grade's Mrs. Ottesen's class secured the $50 top overall classroom gift card. K-Smith, 1-Zoellner, 3-Behnke, 4-Alessia & 5-Fornelli will also be rewarded with $20 gift cards for the highest percentage participation within their grade levels.
Thank you to all 331 of you who have registered. Our membership drive extends through Tuesday, September 30, so it's not too late to join! We are proud to have reached 70% participation, but remain behind last year's registration by about 20 members and are still 10 members from our state goal for bronze membership status. Please consider joining us!
Your involvement can be as much or little as you wish, but your membership alone goes a long way toward our ability to provide opportunities for our Spring Brook Community throughout the year.
For additional information on what we do, and where the funds we raise go, and to learn about the many ways you can get involved, please visit our website.
Charleston Wrap packets went home on Friday, and the PTA's fall fundraiser starts this week! The official run dates for the fundraiser are October 1st through November 1st. Here are 3 easy steps to help your child get started:

Anti-Bully Week: 10/6 - 10/10
Spring Brook is celebrating Anti-Bully Week October 6 - 10. The week is designed to raise awareness of the negative effects of bullying and encourage students to stand up against discrimination, while celebrating inclusivity, respect, and kindness. Join us as we work to create a kind and safe school for all!
We'll kick things off at an all-school assembly featuring the Tim Hannig’s Pro-Kids Show on October 6. Tim connects with kids through his award-winning magic, comedy, music, puppets & audience involvement. He performs in schools throughout the country, and has also performed for Six Flags Theme Parks, The Country Music Association, and twice at The White House.
The attached flyer includes more info on how we're celebrating Anti-Bully Week! It was also sent home in your student's Friday Folders.
