PTA NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Thank you to all those who attended yesterday's PTA General Meeting!  Serving on our Nominating Committee, who will propose a slate of PTA Officers for the 2019-2020 school year, are Amy Walker (chair), Kim Sams, Jenifer Johnson, Pattie Pearson, Kara Gerbosi (alternates: Jennifer Blice and Amy Matz).  Thank you ladies for stepping up and serving the PTA!!

BOX TOPS

Box Tops are each worth 10¢ for our school.  The next deadline is February 22!  Here is how Box Tops work:
        • BUY products you use every day.
        • CLIP the Box Tops.
        • SEND Box tops to school.
        • EARN cash for our school.
If each Brinker child were to simply clip 10 Box Tops, it would generate over $700 for our school.  Imagine the possibilities and happy clipping! Thanks for your support! Questions?  Contact boxtops@brinkerpta.org.

FIELD DAY

Brinker's Annual Field Day will be held on Friday, March 8, with K-G2's activities from 8 - 11 am and G3-5's activities from 11 am - 2 pm.  Students will be outside, so please dress your child in weather-appropriate clothing and apply sunscreen/bug spray before school.  Stay tuned for more details!  This is one of the kids' favorite events of the year.  We need volunteers, so please click here to sign up. 

BRINKER COLOR FUN RUN

Our 4th Annual Brinker Color Fun Run is on March 29 from 5 - 6 pm in the Brinker parking lot.  It's an untimed run where Brinker students are dusted in different colors at stations around the lap course.  The event is all about students running, walking, or even skipping while family members and the Brinker community cheer them on!  Click here to register,and click here to sign up. 

Also, plan on dining out at Mooyah Burger or Campisi’s with your family and friends after the Color Fun Run and support the Brinker PTA.  Stay tuned for more details.  We hope you and your family can join us for this fun family event.  Questions? Email colorrun@brinkerpta.org.

LOST & FOUND

Once again, there is a ton of stuff in the Lost & Found.  Some of the things include jackets, gloves, hats, lunchboxes, water bottles, and more.  Please check your closets and make sure all of your child's winter gear is there.  If not, please have your child check the Lost & Found by the cafeteria.  There are so many items, and if they are not claimed soon, we will be donating another large bulk to charity.
