Make Your Gift – Support the Brackett PTO by December 31st!

The Brackett PTO December Appeal went home with your child (or children) earlier this month. With the tax year-end approaching, we hope you will consider making a tax-deductible contribution to the Brackett PTO to support the enrichment provided for your child this year.

Did you know that the PTO is responsible for funding all field trips and enrichment activities at Brackett? That means all Museum of Science and Aquarium demonstrations, visits to the MFA and other museums, and all cultural enrichment activities are totally funded with support from you and other Brackett families!

Our goal is to raise $12,000 this year.  A donation of $75 covers one student's expenses for the school year (less than 42 cents per school day).  All donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. Please join us and make your contribution before the end of 2014!  Thank you very much for your support!

 (Note: Please use the form sent home with your child to make your gift!)
 

Art Friday - Tomorrow, December 19th!
This Friday, 12/19, we will be experimenting with watercolors and salt.  See you in the art room after school!
 
(All members of the Brackett community are welcome.  Our projects are always adaptable to all ages and abilities.)
