The Greatest 5th Grade Show - Buy Your Tickets & Volunteer!

The Brackett 5th Graders are putting together the Greatest 5th Grade Show - a big performance and fundraiser in support of graduation activities and their class gift to the school. We hope you have heard about and plan to join us for the show! Here's the link to buy tickets: https://brackett.brownpapertickets.com/

We are also writing to ask you to consider helping us during the dress rehearsal and on show night with backstage support and lights/sound support. The show will take place at Lowe Auditorium, Arlington High School on June 12 from 6-8:30 PM (and at the dress rehearsal - June 11 from 4-6:30 PM).

If you are able to help with lights/sound or backstage, please sign up at this sign up genius below. (No special talents needed! We can teach you anything you need to know to help and would be grateful for your help in keeping things running well backstage!)

Join us for Coffee - This Friday, 6/1 at Dropoff

Stop by at dropoff and enjoy a cup of coffee and say hello to the PTO. This is a chance for us to connect before the end of the year, and say thank you to everyone who helps make our school community so amazing!

RAH Coin Drive and Friday, June 1st

Hello, Fifth Grade Families!

Our super-amazing awesome kids have achieved their fundraising goal for Rise Against Hunger— but we're still happily accepting donations! So the kids are hosting a COIN DRIVE this morning before school and asking the Brackett community to send their children in with spare change to contribute to this very worthy cause.

Or if you’re feeling even more generous and you haven't donated already, you can always donate directly via the kids’ online donation page: http://events.stophungernow.org/BrackettJune2018. Feel free to share the link with family and friends as well.

Also, we want all the kids to wear their BRACKETT BEARS T-SHIRTS for the Friday night meal-packing event--please remind your child to wear their shirt! (We'll send another reminder out before Friday night!)

Thank you all for your support!

Megan Uy and Kate Mikkelson
