Get ready to bring your favorite stories to life — Friday, March 20 is Dress Like Book Heroes and Villains Day!

Students are invited to wrap up Literacy Week by stepping into the pages of their favorite books by dressing up as beloved heroes or mischievous villains.

Will we see brave adventurers, clever detectives, magical wizards, or sneaky storybook troublemakers roaming the halls? We can’t wait to find out!

Great work with all your reading, Brackett students!

You’ve read 23,158 minutes so far towards our school-wide goal of 200,000 minutes!

Don’t forget to log your minutes online on your Booster page so that your minutes can be added to our school total and added to our bookshelf thermometer outside Brackett.  Last year we read 323,889 minutes, let’s try and beat our record!

We’re also almost halfway to our fundraising goal of $20,000!  So far, $9,035 has been donated to help fund field trips, student enrichment activities, teacher support, and community events.  Donations can be made through your Booster page. 

The Brackett PTO Read-a-Thon is underway — register your student on Booster today!

Join the Brackett community as we celebrate the joy of reading together as we read, give, and support the programs that make our school special.  

We’re aiming for a school-wide goal of 200,000 minutes! If we reach it, every student earns a prize and the whole school celebrates with a hallway dance party.

Our fundraising goal is $20,000, supporting fully funded field trips, enrichment programs like author visits and STEM Night, community events, teacher appreciation, and classroom stipends. Every contribution makes a meaningful impact.

Join in the fun — Brackett’s first and second floors will be filled with amazing STEM activities designed to engage students’ minds and inspire curiosity about the world around them.

This year’s STEM Night promises new activities as well as annual favorites, including:
Touch a Brain, Balloon Car Blitz, Dry Ice Fun, Make Your Own LED Mini Lightsaber, the 5th Grade Bake Sale, and so much more!

We need parent/caregiver volunteers to make the magic happen! Fifth graders, we need you too – sign up to contribute to the bake sale or to help with STEM Night!
