Hello Brooks Global Parents!
Thank you to all who have signed up to cover classrooms and donate food so far! There are still slots for food available, especially main dishes. We are still in need of classroom coverage for teachers for the following teachers:
Tilley
Hale
Carter
Kelley
Williams
Langer
Lynn
Kitchen
Buckley
Phillips
Pullium
Mann
Kirkman

Please consider helping out in one of these classes during lunchtime if you are able!"

Each year, the PTA holds two luncheons (a holiday luncheon and a faculty/staff appreciation luncheon in the spring) for our amazing teachers and staff to thank them for all they do for our children. This is a great way for us to show the Brooks staff how much we appreciate all their hard work and dedication.

We invite you to be a part of the holiday luncheon, which will be held in the Media Center on Thursday, December 15, 2016. To make this luncheon a success, we will need help with volunteers to cover classrooms during lunchtime so that the teachers can come eat, as well as contributions of food. Below you will see 2 links to sign up-genius to help out in one or both of these ways.
