🌲December PTO Activities ⛄
⭐ GIVING TUESDAY
Tuesday, December 3
Consider including the Brighton PTO in your year-end gifting. Your PTO is entirely volunteer led, does not charge membership dues, and has zero overhead. Every dollar goes toward our mission to support and enrich every Brighton student. To continue our amazing lineup of PTO activities next school year, we need to raise $100,000 over the course of this school year. You can also double your impact if your employer has a corporate matching program. Remember, Brighton PTO is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization (Fed Tax ID 91-1866423).
🎁 SCRIP GIFT GIVING
Now thru Wednesday, December 11
Our SCRIP gift giving program is a way for parents to give holiday gift cards to staff in appreciation for all they do for our students and our school community. Find all the details HERE. We hear over & over again how much the staff love receiving SCRIP gift cards. Deadline to submit the form & payment is Wednesday, December 11. Contact scrip@brightonpto.com with questions.
🪕 FOLK MUSIC
Thursday, December 5
Folksinger Al Hirsch will be entertaining our ECE students with music, puppets, and stories as part of the PTO's in-school enrichment programming. Find out more about Al Hirsch here.
🍪 HOLIDAY COOKIE EXCHANGE
Wednesday, December 18
This popular Teacher Appreciation event has become a Brighton Holiday Tradition. Parents volunteer to bring in a variety of baked goods & treats.
