Dear Brackett Families,
Our PTO is so excited to make the 2024/2025 School Year a spectacular one!
We work to support our students, teachers and Brackett community in a number of ways. This includes subsidizing field trips, funding enrichment activities such as STEM night and math mornings, booking author visits and arts performances, and hosting events to promote a tight-knit, supportive community. On average the Brackett PTO spends $160 per student annually to bring these robust enrichments to our school.
PTO Funds: How Your Contributions Support Our Learning Community
This year we’ve set an ambitious goal of raising $50,000 in just four days! The 4 Days of Fall Fund Drive kicks off on Tuesday, October 15th. If we reach our goal, we won’t have to ask for funds again until the annual Read-a-Thon in March.
Even room reps won’t ask for additional donations this year. Instead, donations from the general PTO fund will be used to provide seasonal gifts to our amazing Brackett Faculty. This effort will create more equity across all classrooms, and relieves room reps from collecting money. We are asking everyone who is able to please make a donation. To help put your donation into context, we’ve given examples of what various donation amounts support in the chart below. We truly appreciate all donations and encourage you to give whatever you can. If you are able to donate more to help families with tighter budgets, please do so!
Can’t give all at once? Consider setting up a monthly contribution via VENMO or PayPal instead.
The work we do together is made possible solely through your generosity. Thank you in advance for any donation you are able to make. Please join us for all of our community events throughout the year.

Your Brackett PTO Board
