MAY 8th IS SPORTS THEME BINGO NIGHT! Mark your calendars now! The Brookside PTA's popular, family fun Bingo night will take place on Friday, May 8th. Throw on your favorite jersey or t-shirt, your own AYBA or WAGS team uniform, cheerleading outfit etc., and join us for a night of fun. Due to space limitations in the MPR, we will be having two Bingo sessions: an “early bird” seating from 5-6:30 and a “late bird” seating from 7-8:30. More information will be going home in your child’s homework folder and in the Tidbits after Spring Break, so be on the lookout. As always, we rely on parent donations for Bingo prizes so save those new and unopened holiday gifts that you come across in your closet or garage during your spring cleaning. Room parents will be sending out individual emails with specifics about your classroom theme and other important information so stay tuned!
It's Not Too Late To Donate Your Gently Used Or New Books For The Upcoming Recycled Book Fair In honor of earth week, the Brookside PTA is collecting books (children's books through young teenage books). We greatly appreciate all the donations so far BUT WE STILL NEED MORE to make this event a
success. So, take a peek in and around your house. We are sure you have some books that your children are no longer using. Drop the books off in the baskets in front of school. !The Recycled Book Fair will be held April 14-16th (Tuesday-Thursday) at morning drop off and at every dismissal time. Please feel free to email the PTA Recycled Bookfair chairs [email protected] if you have any questions or ideas.
