Welcome back! And welcome all new families to Brookvale!
In your first day packet that the kids will be bringing home, you’ll find a yellow flyer explaining PTA membership and an envelope to fill out. We’re hoping you will all join this year! Every classroom to reach 80% PTA membership will win a popsicle party for the kids, as well as an extra $25 in classroom funds from the PTA. Please support your child’s class by becoming part of that 80%!
Why should I join Brookvale PTA? Because every person that joins the PTA means more money for Brookvale School for classroom enrichment, school supplies, facility improvements, computer equipment, and much more.
How do I join? Fill out a membership envelope, include $8 for each member, and return to your child’s teacher or the school office. Envelopes are available in the school office.
If I join, will I be required to come to meetings or volunteer at the school? No. (Of course we’d love to have volunteers, but we know many parents work or have other time constraints).
If I join, how will I benefit? PTA members will receive free membership cards that entitle you to discounts at California Academy of Sciences, Enterprise, Jamba Juice, LegoLand, Staples, T-Mobile, and others (details here). Members will also get free school calendar magnets, invitations to the PTA’s ice cream socials, and, most importantly, the satisfaction of knowing you are helping your child’s education.
Who can join? Everybody: parents, teachers, students, grandparents, friends, neighbors, the family dog, cat, fish (or even guinea pig!).
I joined last year, do I need to join again? Yes. Each school year is a new membership drive, and by joining again you will continue to support Brookvale.
There are extra membership envelopes available in the school office. Thank you!
