Bronco Gallop – October 17th

Are you ready to gallop? We are gearing up for our only major fundraiser for the 2014-15 school year, the Bronco Gallop, on Friday, October 17th. Please encourage your kids to ask family and friends for pledges. Our goal is $65 per student! Your participation will enable Brookvale to provide a wide assortment of programs and events that enrich our children’s education and continue our school’s tradition of outstanding achievement.

We are also encouraging all families to take advantage of their employer’s donation matching program. This is a major source of funds for the PTA. We are a registered non-profit (#94-2931862) per IRS Code Section 501(c) (3). All donations to the Brookvale PTA are 100% tax- deductible. A partial list of companies that participate can be found here. If you do not see your company on the list, please ask if Brookvale PTA can be added to their donation matching program.

Full Bronco Gallop information and downloadable info sheet can be found here. Thank you!

After School Activities

As those of you on the Yahoo email group know, there has been a lot of interest in increasing the number of after school activities offered at Brookvale this year. Discussions have brought up ideas like Debate, Lego Robotics, Math Olympiad, and others.

Mrs. Hicks-Rodriguez has said that all requests should come directly to her, not through the PTA. Because these activities are using school facilities, they will require insurance, by district policy. Any parents who have found a group or activity that has insurance ($1 million policy) can apply directly to Mrs. Hicks-Rodriguez. She will let you know what rooms and times are available at the school. Mrs. Hicks-Rodriguez can provide the parents with more details if required. Her email is chicks-rodriguez@fremont.k12.ca.us.

Togo’s and Baskin Robbins

Togo’s and Baskin Robbins is partnering with the Brookvale PTA for a dine-out fundraiser for the week of September 21-27, and will give 15% of any purchase back to Brookvale PTA.

Look for the flyer in your Thursday folder, or print it out here: Togo’s flyer (If you plan on eating at both Togo’s and Baskin Robbins, you may want to print out two flyers, just in case).
