Help Us Reach Our Goal by November 1
We are in the final stretch of our Charleston Wrap fall fundraiser! With just a few days left to shop, we are 65% of the way to our goal. The holiday season is just around the corner, and this would be a great way to get a jump start on your holiday shopping!
The fundraiser ends THIS WEEK on Saturday, November 1st. If you haven’t had a chance to shop yet, there are 3 easy steps to help you get started:
- 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!
- 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!
- 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!

Help Us Honor the Veterans in our Huskie Community
Spring Brook is proud to once again celebrate and honor those veterans near and dear to our Huskie family at our annual Veterans Day Breakfast. All students are welcome and encouraged to invite the veterans in their families to join together for this inspiring annual breakfast and assembly.
In order to make this event a success, we appreciate the support of volunteers who help with setup the afternoon before, and on the morning of the breakfast. Please visit this sign up link to volunteer and help us this year.
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.
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!
Dough Raising: Domino Slice the Price Cards
🍕We're partnering with Domino's for our November dough raising event. 🍕
Families who purchase a $20 "Slice the Price" card can take advantage of a buy one/get one free pizza deal. Meanwhile, 50% of profits from cards sold go directly back to our school. More details coming soon!
Dough raising events are an opportunity to join with others in the 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.
Art Awareness Volunteers Needed
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!
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!
