Good morning Huskie families,
Did you know the PTA’s role is more important than ever in connecting parents, teachers and administrators, and supporting critical school needs? We want every family at Spring Brook to join the PTA, because we can do more together than apart.
Please consider supporting our efforts by joining the PTA. As an added incentive, anyone who is registered for the PTA by next Friday, September 11, is eligible to win a $50 Amazon gift card. A random winner will be selected, so get your registration in!
A few other reminders:
- Get involved in your child's classroom - apply to be a room parent! Submit your info by this Friday, September 4.
- Stock up on new spirit wear for yourself and your students. Orders are due no later than Monday, September 7.
- Exciting Anti-Bully Week announcement below :)
What is the PTA? How Can I Get Involved?
PTA stands for Parent Teacher Association, a school-based organization with a mission to make school a better place for students to learn. We are a group of parents, guardians, family & community members, teachers, and administrators that work together to create fun events, support students and staff, and collaborate with others to make our students' time at school the best possible. We invest over $55,000 annual to enhance learning and enrich our school community.
Our success as an organization depends on parent, teacher, and community involvement.
Please join us by becoming a Spring Brook PTA member this year!
Our membership drive is also one of our largest fundraisers of the year. Your membership ensures that a number of first quarter student expenses are covered.
This week we are giving away a $50 Amazon gift card. Anyone who registers for the PTA by next Friday, September 11, is eligible to win.
Additional prizes and incentives will be announced as our membership drive continues.
Orders Due by Monday, September 7
Back to school means new backpacks, shoes, and of course, NEW SPIRIT WEAR! Don't miss your chance to purchase this year's newest designs. Two new designs are available in three colors and in t-shirts, performance tees, and hoodies. This is your only opportunity to order spirit wear this fall.
Visit our spirit shop to purchase yours today. Orders are due September 7 and will be sent home with students a few weeks later.
Explore the Arts and Express Yourself
The national PTA has been committed to arts education for more than 50 years. Students who love art, music, photography, dance, writing, or film are invited to create original works of art for the PTA's Art Reflections Program. Each year, hundreds of thousands of students in pre-K through grade 12 participate, creating artwork in response to a student-created theme.
The theme for the 2026-2027 Art Reflections Program is: “What My Culture Means to Me.” Take some time with your kids to think about this theme and how they might participate. Entries will be due mid October.

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.
PTA Meeting: September 17
Please join us in the Multipurpose Room for our next all-member PTA meeting on Thursday, September 17 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.
Please double check your calendar - this meeting was originally scheduled for 9/24 but was changed due to early dismissal.
Mum Fundraiser Pickup: September 28
If you ordered mums from our fall fundraiser - thank you! You can pick up your flowers on Monday, September 28 from 2 - 6 p.m. at the Breckenridge Clubhouse (2852 Breckenridge Lane).
Please double check your calendar - pickup was originally scheduled for 9/24 but was changed due to early dismissal.
Last Call for Room Parents!
We are currently looking for Room Parents for our Spring Brook classrooms. This is a great chance to get involved at school and meet other children and parents in your classroom. The Room Parent is a school year-long volunteer position that assists with class parties, recruits volunteers when needed, and is vital to communicating PTA information to the class along with other tasks throughout the year.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please submit your information via the Room Parent Interest Form. Forms are due this Friday, September 4th, to be considered. You will be notified by September 7th whether or not you are selected.
If you have questions, please contact the Spring Brook PTA Vice President, Tiffany Malik at springbrookvppta@gmail.com.
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!
