An Active PTA

  We can’t believe the end of the school year is upon us all.  What a wonderful year we have had together!  There are still a lot of exciting activities going on as the school year wraps up. 

On June 9, 10, 12 and 13th, the students will be participating in Field Day.  All parents are invited to attend.  The PTA will be supplying ice pops for all of the students. 

On June 10 at 7 p.m. we will be having our last PTA meeting.  We will be having a pasta dinner in the cafeteria with meatballs courtesy of Ms. Greiner.  All are welcome to come. 

Lori and I will be hosting a volunteer appreciation breakfast on June 20, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. in the cafeteria to thank all of the parents who worked so hard to make this a great year!  We look forward to seeing many volunteers at the breakfast. 

On June 23, the PTA will be bidding a final farewell to our third grade students with a Hawaiian Luau!  There will be a dunk tank, popcorn maker, cotton candy machine, tattoos, limbo dancing and a tug of war game.  Lunch and ice cream will be provided for all of our students.  We wish our third grade students well as they continue down their path of learning to Frank P. Long, we shall remember them all!

On June 25, 26, and 27 dismissal will begin at 11:15 a.m.  Our last day of school will be on June 27, 2008.

We look forward to seeing everyone again in September!  We are happy to announce the board members for the upcoming school year below.

Bully Free School Program

Brookhaven Elementary School is proud of the Bully Free School Program sponsored by the PTA.   The focus of this program is to teach children about the concept of bullying and how if affects everyone.  It empowers the children to know how to deal with bullying and it also encourages and teaches appropriate social skills and assertiveness skills.  The key to a bully-free school is early intervention and education!
