Brockman PTO

Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 20th and get ready for costumes, games, food, prizes and more! If you are interested in helping with this event or have questions, please contact: Seema Madden at blueandque@yahoo.com  or Jen Williamson at jenwilli@bellsouth.net.

The yearbook Staff invites students and parents to submit photos for the yearbook. If you’ve got great photos of school and community events we’d like to see them. Our photographers can’t be everywhere. Help us get as many photos as possible to create a terrific book everyone will want to have.

Submit them to the yearbook at BrockmanYearbook@gmail.com. Please submit only your best shots and a variety, be inclusive. We love close-ups, group and action shots.

Thank you,

This drive through the next few weeks funds our PTO budget, as well as supports our committee heads with their service goals for the year. With a contribution of $15, you receive a directory, There are other fun prizes at other giving levels (reusable bags, car clings, reserved seating at Thanksgiving lunch!). We also have many small yet significant PTO jobs, and if we all help a little, our community is stronger, our PTO leaders get the support they need, and we promise your child(ren) will be proud!! Forms will come in folders the week of 9/3, or you can fill out the Online Membership Form (PayPal payment).

Do you have ideas on how to make Brockman an even better school for our children?

If you do, we want YOU for the School Improvement Council. The commitment is approximately 1 hour meeting per month (1st Monday at 11:30am) and you get to know the staff and inner workings of the school. Interested? Contact Kirby Speas at kirbyspeas@aol.com.

The PTO is looking for corporate sponsors for the school year. Since last winter, a special group has worked hard to develop a more comprehensive sponsorship program, in hopes to better recognize these fabulous organizations and hopefully avoid repeatedly asking throughout the year. We have been so fortunate to have generous corporate donors who give year after year. To allow for the best exposure, we are hoping to secure sponsorships by September.

If your company is interested, please fill out the Online Sponsorship Form.

Thanks for your support!

Congratulations to Brayden Williams, the winner of the Rally Day Bingo card drawing. He will get to choose a new tee or sweatshirt from our new line of spiritwear.

During the fall & spring, we like to encourage our Brockman friends to meet up at Citadel Park for some fun and exercise on Fridays after school. This year, we are also encouraging a Saturday morning option for our primary parents. We hope you can come and enjoy some fellowship – grab a friend!
