PTA Weekly Update

Good morning Huskie Families,

It's absolutely freezing out! How about an art project while the kids are stuck inside? We're extending the deadline for artwork for the Tile Project! Submissions are now due on Friday, January 9.

Flyers with info on how to sign up, directions, and a page to create their artwork on went home with kids before Thanksgiving break. Don't worry if you can't find them now - sign up online by January 4. When you do, you'll get everything you need digitally.

And while you're marking your calendars, don't forget, Bingo for Books is coming up (right after winter break) on Thursday, January 8! We're currently collecting books for the event - see below for details!

As always, check our website for all things related to the Spring Brook PTA!

Have a good week!

The Tile Wall Project is underway! This is your child's opportunity to create art that will be printed onto ceramic tiles and hung forever on the walls of Spring Brook. Encourage your child to leave their legacy. Kids love to go down the tile hall to see their tile art!

The cost is $20.00 per tile. You can register and complete your artwork anytime from now through January 4, 2026. All finished artwork is due by January 9, 2025.

Bingo for Books is a great opportunity for your student to gather with their Huskie friends to have some fun and win books! We are currently collecting donations of any good condition, elementary appropriate books. We do not accept board books, and can always use more books for our 4th & 5th grade students. Book donations can be delivered to the school, or you can arrange for a pick up or drop off with our Bingo for Books chair, Jacqueline Baird.

All students and their families are welcome to attend the Bingo for Books event on Thursday, January 8 from 6 - 8 p.m. at Spring Brook.

• Every student who participates is guaranteed to take home a book.
• Bingo cards, snacks, water, and raffle tickets for exciting prizes will be available for purchase at the event.
• If you are interested in sponsoring this event donating raffle items, please contact us.
• We will need volunteers to help run concessions, fill book tables, run bingo games, as well as set up and clean up. Stay tuned for sign up info.

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.
