Starting in February, the PTO Green Team will be winter sowing with Brackett students (stay tuned for volunteer opportunities to help with the seed sowing!)

We need milk or water jugs for the winter sowing! The jugs need to be rinsed and transparent/transluscent.

We’ll have a bin out front for drop-off and pick-up during the month of January for donated jugs.

The Brackett Fifth Grade Student Council and Rainbow Alliance are co-sponsoring No Name Calling Week from January 20-23.

During No Name Calling Week, students will be asking each other to make a pledge that they know that bullying and calling others hurtful names is wrong.

Messages about kindness and the impacts of name calling will be shared during our school wide announcements as well.

Kindergarteners and first graders and their parents/guardians are invited to a free, hands-on evening of mathematical exploration!

Enjoy dozens of engaging, logic-based puzzles, games, and activities designed to be fun for everyone, no matter their math background.

No sign-up is required—just come and enjoy between 6:00-7:30 p.m. in the Brackett Cafeteria!
