PTA Weekly Update
September 16, 2024
Good morning Huskie Families,
There are still 12 days left in the Charleston Wrap fall fundraiser! So far we have raised just over $3,000 for the school, which is 65% of our goal! If you haven't done so yet, now is a fantastic opportunity to check a few items off your holiday shopping list (early!) while also helping raise funds for our school.
Art Awareness volunteers, please be on the lookout for an email this week with details about your partner and artist assignments.
Our next PTA Meeting will be held on Thursday, October 30 at 9:30 a.m. in the Multipurpose Room. We hope to see many of you there!
Keep reading for details on all of these, and other opportunities to get involved. And don't forget to check out our website - it's a one-stop-shop for all things Spring Brook.
Have a good week!
The next PTA meeting will be held on Thursday, October 30 at 9:30 in the Multipurpose Room at Spring Brook. All members are invited to attend.
If you cannot attend in person, a link to join via Google Meets will be shared soon.
There are still 12 days left in the Charleston Wrap fall fundraiser! So far we have raised just over $3000 for the school, which is 65% of our goal! The fundraiser will continue through November 1st, so if you haven't had a chance to shop yet, there are 3 easy steps to help your child get started:
1. Register now as a participant at www.registercw.com using our school code (11280). All sales and payments are online; nothing to collect or turn in at school!
2. Invite your friends and family to support our cause! Share a link to our sale using text and email invitation tools. You can also share your link on social media!
3. Shop online and help us reach our goal! With over 2,500 gift ideas, there is something for everyone! Items sold will be tracked online for prizes, so no need to turn in prize coupons to teachers.
Contact Kate Kopp if you have any questions. Thank you for your support!
A Note from Our Community Relations Chair:
As the PTA looks for new ways to partner with the community to enrich the lives of our students, we are expanding our sponsorship program for events during the 2025-2026 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 Muryan.

Dough Raising: November 20 at Panera
Dough Raising Events are an opportunity to join with others in our Spring Brook Community for fun, food and a little fundraising. A portion of sales during these events are donated by our community partners to support the efforts of the Spring Brook Elementary PTA.
The next Dough Raising will be at the Panera by Showplace on 95th street on Thursday, November 20. Skip the stove and a sink full of dishes, grab dinner, and help support our school!
Art Awareness Volunteer Update
Volunteers will get an email from Art Awareness Thursday of this week with their partner assignments as well as the presentation link access to the presentations online.
For anyone who wants an in person tutorial on how to do an Art Awareness lesson, we are planning on meeting right after the PTA meeting on 10/30. It will be a review of where to find what you need and a quick room tour.
Multicultural Day on 12/5 - Volunteers Needed!
Would you like to showcase your home country at this year’s Springbrook Annual Multicultural Day on December 5th?
We’re looking for parent volunteers to share their culture by hosting a table featuring a game, craft, traditional activity, dance, or other unique element from their country of origin. In past years, we’ve had wonderful participation, with countries such as Honduras, Korea, Venezuela, the Philippines, and Israel represented in the school gymnasium during the day.
Students are always excited to explore the displays, learn about new traditions, and gain a deeper appreciation for the diverse cultures that make up our community.
In addition, students will have the opportunity to create heritage posters to celebrate their backgrounds. Poster submissions should be turned in before Thanksgiving break.
If you’re interested in showcasing a country or would like more details, please contact the event chair, Brea Khalid, at brea.khalid@outlook.com.
We look forward to another amazing Multicultural Day — thank you for helping make it a memorable event for our students!
