As you know, so many illnesses are going around! To help keep our greater GB community healthy, please DO NOT send students to school when they are sick or not fully recovered (24 hour fever or vomit free). Additionally, please be prepared to pick up a sick child within 30 minutes of a call from the nurse. THANK YOU.
WE NEED YOU for our PTO EXECUTIVE BOARD next year. See information below.

GB PTO NEEDS YOU!
Calling All Gator Parents:
We have seen and noticed how many amazing parents we are lucky to have as part of our Greenbrook family. From volunteering at school events and organizing amazing class parties, to supporting our fundraisers and donating to show our teachers and staff appreciation, your contributions to life at Greenbrook continue to amaze us. It has been exciting to meet so many of you that have expressed an interest in becoming even more involved in the PTO.
As we look toward the future, we'd like to invite all of you to attend a special PTO meeting on February 10th at 6:30pm in the Greenbrook library. The purpose of this meeting will be to introduce you to the variety of roles and positions on the PTO Board. Attending this meeting is NOT a commitment - simply a chance to learn about what is involved and if becoming a member of the board might be a good fit for you. There are a variety of positions that will soon be available and our current board members are eager to spend time making sure prospective new members will have all the help and knowledge needed to succeed.
We hope you can join us on the 10th!
