The Bobcat Times

Dear Brooker Creek Families,

Thank you to all of our Brooker Creek families for helping support our Start with Hello / Student Awareness Week! It was wonderful to see so many of our students and staff participate in activities throughout the week and learn more about how every student can make a positive difference in our school community.

Parents, we encourage you to talk with your child about becoming involved in one of the many clubs, organizations, activities, and groups available at Brooker Creek. We want every student to feel connected, involved, and engaged in their educational experience. Providing students with opportunities to participate beyond the classroom helps them build friendships, develop new interests, and strengthen their sense of belonging at school.

Thank you for continuing to partner with us as we work to ensure that Every Bobcat Counts!

I look forward to seeing many of you at the BCE PTA Spirit Night next Tuesday, September 29, 2026!

Seymour Brown
