Brackett Thanksgiving Pie Sale

Thanksgiving will be here before you know it!  Take a break from the cooking and treat yourselves to a delicious pie from Wilson Farm and support your PTO at the same time.  For every dessert we sell, a percentage of the cost will be donated to the Brackett School PTO.  Although these pies are not baked at Wilson’s, they are the same top quality frozen pies they sell at Wilson Farm. Pie order forms will be sent home in backpacks.
 
The best part is the delivery service.  You just pick up your pies in the lobby on theTuesday before Thanksgiving!  Give your family, friends and neighbors the same relaxing opportunity.  Ask them to support the Brackett School by ordering pies for their Thanksgiving dinner too.  It is all very simple and stress free! We are also offering the opportunity to donate a pie to the Germaine Lawrence School.  Some of the girls spend the Thanksgiving holiday at school, and would enjoy a nice treat for dessert.  If you are interested in donating any pies, please note this on the order form.
 
Return your completed form and check (payable to Brackett School PTO) to the PIE SALE box in the office by Friday, November 14th.
Thank you for your continued support of the Brackett PTO.
Holiday Helper Program 2014

Hello Brackett Families!
 
Patsy Kramer, the coordinator of the "Holiday Helper Program" here in Arlington, has sent out an email to past contributors to see who may want to get involved in this wonderful cause again this year. As a community, The Brackett School helped 12 families and over 25 kids last year and has been participating in this program for many years.
 
We had a wonderful group of parents last year and had a great time together making this magical program happen! We even had the kids involved! If you are interested in getting involved with the "Holiday Helper Committee" at Brackett, please email Nicole Antonakas at Nicole1014@gmail.com. We need parents to help coordinate in each grade level as well as help with wrapping and delivering the gifts to the center for families to pick up. There is something to do for everyone!
 
We should receive our list of kids in a few weeks, at that time, more information and sign up genius' will go out and the excitement will begin! We look forward to making lots of kids happy this year!
 
Best,
Nicole Antonakas
