October 19th – Diwali flash mob

Want to practice the Diwali dance at home? Here is a video to help you:

UPDATE: The Diwali flash mob has been RESCHEDULED for October 19th, 8am!

Brookvale PTA is planning a fun-filled Indian style “flash mob” on Thursday, October 12th 19th at 8am. We want to mark this very auspicious time in various Indian traditions and would like adults and children to participate in this celebration. Indian and non-Indian are most welcome!

Diwali is of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, it spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair. Considering the series tragically events happened nationwide recently, our Diwali celebration next Thu echoes Diwali’s essence. Teachers may take this opportunity to explore this beautiful cultural topic in their classrooms. Traditional Indian costumes are encouraged as far as they won’t interfere with normal school activities.

To participate, please join our committee Diwali Flash Mob on Konstella or email us at supdeepak@gmail.com or ritikaaulakh@yahoo.com

The Bronco GallopBrookvale’s only major fundraiser, is on Friday, October 13th. All money raised goes directly to support teachers, classrooms, school equipment, school-wide assemblies, STEM and cultural events, art and music enrichment, and more.

All students participate and all students bene t! We are asking for at-rate “sponsorships” at $5, $10, $20, and $100 levels, or any amount a sponsor is willing give. Students can ask family, friends, and neighbors to sponsor them.

Instead of a raffle, this year Brookvale PTA will treat the entire school to a just-for-fun special assembly (tbd) if we reach our school-wide goal of $35,000. And just think: If every student can raise $100 in sponsorships, we could double our goal and have over $70,000 to spend for our school!

Please look for details and pledge sheet coming home in your Thursday folder. Brookvale has always relied on and is extremely grateful to our wonderfully generous parent community. Thank you!
