EMMANUEL
Emmanuel is one of the greatest stories of determination, perseverance and being a change agent that I have ever heard!
Emmanuel was born in Ghana with one working leg and his mother was told to kill him because he was a curse.He hopped three miles to and from school and eventually taught himself to ride a bike with one leg. Emmanuel then rode more than 400 miles around Ghana to raise awareness of people with disabilities. Emmanuel ended up earning the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, his story was told in an Oprah narrated documentary and he continues to work with African leaders to increase awareness of people with disabilities!
His story is told in an awesome children's book Emmanuel's Dream
THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOU!
EMMANUEL WILL BE BACK IN MAY AND WE ARE GOING TO HELP HIM COLLECT 400 USED BICYCLES TO CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIVES IN GHANA!

Teacher Appreciation Luncheon
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 this year's
Faculty and Staff Appreciation luncheon,
which will be held in the Media Center on
Thursday, May 11th, 2017.
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.
