Our Holiday Shoppe is Open This Week!

Students will have the opportunity to shop all week long! This special PTA-sponsored experience allows students to purchase gifts for loved ones while learning budgeting skills and building independence. Please see the information sheet and envelope that came home with your student for more details.

We still need many volunteers to make this magical week happen! Please sign up today by using the link below – and remember, all volunteers must be ADDitions approved!

Lace Up Those Skates!

Our next Skate Night is this Wednesday, December 3. Join us for dinner at Panda Express (Casselberry) before or after you skate. A portion of sales that night will be donated back to our school! We can’t wait to see everyone out having fun with friends, family, and our amazing community!

Calling All Brookshire Families! WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We're excited to bring back Holidays Around the World to our Brookshire community! This is truly one of the most fun and magical events of the year, but we can't do it without amazing families like you.

We are currently looking for families to represent a country and share its unique holiday traditions with our community.

If you're interested, please sign up using the link below. Thank you for helping make this event so special!
