SIGN UP to take home a PE BUCKET OF FUN!!!

The bucket of fun is back!!!!! Sign up so your Greenbrook student can have the opportunity to take home a PE Bucket of Fun!

As the weather improves, every week a different student will be selected to take home a bucket, but you must sign up! All buckets will be distributed on Thursdays and should be returned the following Monday. The buckets encourage family fitness and allow students an opportunity to take PE equipment home and create activities to play with their family or friends.

You can sign up by clicking the Bucket of Fun tab on the Greenbrook PE website or directly using the following link: tinyurl.com/2025bucketoffunA notebook will be included in the bucket for your child to journal about how they used the equipment. We would love to hear how students are creative with the equipment and the games they chose to play with the bucket of fun!

If you have any questions please email Mrs. DiCapua (stephanie.dicapua@sbschools.org) or Mr. Korey (williamkorey@sbschools.org). Can’t wait for you to get in on the FUN!!!!

March 18, 2025, 6:30PM - 8PM, Crossroads North Middle School

Parents/Guardians and district staff are invited to join us for Part II of a three part series, The Anxious Generation, centered around the #1 New York Times bestseller, by Jonathan Haidt. In this series, with the help of guest experts, we will dive into the role smartphones and social media have played in the collapse of children's mental health and what the adults in their lives can do to make a much needed change. Click here for more information and to register for Part II. You didn't have to have attended Part I to join us for Part II. Childcare is available. Any questions can be forwarded to Blair.Eiseman@sbschools.org.

This afterschool club also gives back to our PTO. They are also looking for a parent volunteer to assist them (tuition for that child will be waived).

Use this image of the flyer or hard copy that is being sent home when you book your next event at Board and Brush. For each registration, they will give back to the Greenbrook PTO.
