PTA Back-to-School Packet

Dear Brywood Families,

Welcome back to all returning families and a big WELCOME to all new families.

We are very excited for the new school year and encourage your involvement

with PTA. Founded in 1986, the Brywood PTA is a volunteer organization of

parents that has supported the education of all the children at Brywood

Elementary.

The Brywood PTA uses funds to provide a wide range of educational enrichment

programs and improve our school. The Brywood PTA provides instructional

materials, classroom supplies, core technology, books and media, and computers

for our library, funds for assemblies, and much, much more.

Without your financial help and participation, these events cannot occur, and

Brywood Elementary would not be the school that it is today. As we launch the

new school year with our donor pledge fundraiser, please review this packet and

see how you can help the PTA and make a difference.

Thank you for your support and Welcome Back!

Kandie Schmehr

Brywood PTA President
