Hello bulldogs!

I hope you will come out to our next SAC meeting on Tuesday at 3:15 PM in the media center. It’s a great way to hear about updates about Brookshire and ask questions. PTA has planned many fun activities for Wednesday including Walk and Roll, ice cream for sale at walkers, and skate night! Come out and support our amazing PTA and all that they do to help make Brookshire a fun school for our students.

Thank you to all the families who have already registered for Jump Rope for Heart. It’s not too late if you haven’t registered yet. Students will get to participate in the final event for this fundraiser on Friday during specials time.

Finally, don’t forget that you’ve got another three-day weekend coming up! There’s no school on Monday, February 16 in honor of Presidents’ Day. Enjoy that extra sleep and day of fun or relaxation. We’ll see all our bulldogs back on Tuesday, February 17.

Looking forward to another focused, fantastic week!

I am pleased and proud to report that one of our 5th graders, Polina Sheremeteva’s artwork has been chosen by the Orlando Museum of Art to be displayed in the Orange County Student Exhibition 1. The student exhibition is currently on display at the Orlando Museum of Art and will be through March 29.

Please congratulate Polina on her huge accomplishment!

Artfully Yours,

Your child could:

…and so much more! 

Buying for multiple children on the same raffle? If more than one child wants the same experience, we recommend having a partner or friend make a separate purchase so entries are under two different names. Example, if both children want to be principal for the day, purchase some raffle tickets under your name and have a family member purchase additional tickets under theirs. Be sure to list the child’s name in the “Donation preferences” section.

Please take a moment to show your child the options and see which raffle(s) they’d like to try for! 

Good luck!
