Teacher Appreciation Week

Dear Family Members and Friends at Brookvale Elementary School,

The parents of Brookvale PTA are once again planning our annual Teachers Appreciation Week celebration. Please mark your calendars, this year’s celebration will take place from Monday, May 4 to Friday, May 8.

Each year we honor our school’s hard-working, dedicated teachers and the outstanding support staff with a week of gifts and activities. We are very fortunate to have generous parents like you to support the events. It has been a true neighborhood event with parents bringing in homemade food and students bringing in flowers clipped from backyards. In addition, we have also asked for support from business owners in our community.

This year’s celebration theme is Wild Wild West. The week’s activities are:

  • Monday, May 4 — Farmer’s Market Breakfast
  • Tuesday, May 5 — Coffee Bar
  • Wednesday, May 6 — Salad Bar
  • Thursday, May 7 — Wild Wild West Luncheon and Raffle
  • Friday, May 8 — A Sweet Thank You

Please visit the links below to sign up for your support. There are two sign up sheets.

The first one is to sign up for the luncheon and raffle prize donation:

Just a reminder that our next PTA meeting is on Tuesday, March 10th at 7pm in the school library.

Brookvale PTA is very lucky to have a parent who is a certified ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter, and who has volunteered to attend PTA meetings to interpret upon request.
