PTA-Thinking Outside the Box

Our PTA is working hard to support BRES. This dedicated group is brainstorming and thinking outside the box when it comes to fundraising. Their newest support comes in the form of a VIP carpool tag that will save you time by allowing a shortened wait time from January to June. There will be two passes raffled off on December 1st at the annual movie night in the MPR. The proceeds from this raffle will directly support the teacher stipend fund. Our PTA reimburses teachers who spend their own money for classroom items $50 per semester. We all know that teachers often spend their own funds for little things that make their classrooms a home away from home. Our teachers are so appreciative of the support the PTA has provided them thus far.  

Monday, December 1st is Movie Night at Banks. This event has become a tradition at BRES. Students may wear their school appropriate pj's and settle in on a blanket in the multipurpose room for a holiday movie. Our PTA has organized parent vendors who will be on hand to support your holiday shopping. Families are welcome to bring dinner to enjoy during the movie or there will be a food truck on hand if you want to skip cooking and order from Stuffed!

Additionally the PTA is holding its first Parents Night Out. They will show a movie and provide activities for your child to participate in while you...go out! PNO will be on December 5th. Please see the PTA website for details. 

The Staff and I are thankful for a PTA who is working hard and thinking outside the box to support and strengthen our school. 

Always Trailblazer Proud, Mrs. Graf
