Get Creative While Helping in the Classroom
Do you love art or love to help out in your child's classroom? The PTA is looking for parents to volunteer to teach Art Awareness lessons to your child's class.
We provide everything you need to do the lesson, no experience necessary!
Volunteers pair up and teach the students about well-known artists and their works and then facilitate an art project inspired by the style. All teaching materials, training, and activities are provided for volunteers. The students always enjoy the lessons and will amaze you with their interpretation of the art presented.
Sign up here for ONE spot only. You will self-schedule one lesson with your teacher in the semester you are assigned to.
Thanks for helping keep art flowing through our school!
A Note from Our Community Relations Chair:
The PTA is always looking for new ways to partner with the community to enrich the lives of our students. We expanded our sponsorship program last year and plan to continue these efforts in the 2026-2027 school year.
If your family owns or is connected to a local business and is interested in sponsoring a Spring Brook event, please see the attached letter for more information or reach out to Ellen Mulryan.
Save the Date: PTA Monthly Meeting October 29
Please join us in the Multipurpose Room for our next all-member PTA meeting on Thursday, October 29 from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m.
All teachers, parents, members of the Spring Brook Elementary PTA are encouraged to attend our monthly meetings. Each month, Mrs. Adams speaks and opens the floor for questions and our committee chairs report on and solicit support for upcoming and recent events.
Younger siblings are welcome to attend with parents, coloring supplies are provided! Can't attend in person? You can join virtually via Google Meet.
Veteran's Day Breakfast: November 11
Spring Brook Elementary is proud of the veterans in our school community. All students are welcome and encouraged to invite the veterans in their families to join together for this inspiring annual breakfast and assembly.
Additional information will be sent home with students later this month.
Multicultural Day: December 4
Our school is filled with beautiful, diverse cultures, and we want to bring those rich traditions to life for our students! On Friday, December 4, Spring Brook Elementary will be hosting our annual Multicultural Day.
This event is a memorable, hands-on way to introduce our children to unique global traditions, games, clothing, and histories that are deeply meaningful to members of our own community.
To make this day a success, we are looking for four Lead Volunteers to showcase a country or heritage close to their heart.
Who Can Volunteer?
You do not need to be a professional presenter! We are looking for:
- Parents or family members originally from another country who want to share their heritage.
- Families who practice cultural traditions passed down through generations.
- Anyone with family ties to a specific country who wants to share what makes their culture unique and important to them.
🙋♀️ How to Sign Up
If you are interested in being one of our four featured country leads, or if you have any questions about what showcasing a country looks like, please reach out to Brea Khalid.
Thank you in advance for helping us create a vibrant, educational, and unforgettable day for our students. We cannot wait to celebrate the wonderful cultures that make Spring Brook so special!
Committee Opportunities for 2026-2027 School Year
The PTA offers many ways to get involved in our school and with our students. Several event and program committees are in need of support this year. We are still seeking chairs for Teacher Appreciation and Science Fair (which will be a learning role this year to take over next year).
Contact Marissa Kopp at springbrookpresidentpta@gmail.com to get involved!
