BROWNING WINDOW CLINGS

Are you displaying your Browning spirit yet? Be sure to buy a 4″ x 4″ Browning Window Cling for your car, classroom or bedroom window! The cling can be removed easily and IS NOT a sticker. Please send requests for clings in an envelope marked Attn: Window Clings along with your check payable to Browning PTA. Please include your child’s grade and teacher on your request. Each cling is $4.00 or 3 for $10.00. Thank you to Dawn Skwarczynski for coordinating this fundraiser

My School is Cool

my schools coolJust a reminder from your PTA-2009…please turn in any receipts from Lakeside Mall for our “My School is Cool” program.

We know everyone is very busy shopping and rushing around to get everything done for the holidays but it’s such an easy way to help out our kids school.

The deadline for the Nov. receipts are due on Dec. 9th and we will get them all tallied up and tuned in to get our points.

Thank you for supporting our school!

HAPPY SHOPPING!

OCTOBER REFLECTIONS

From the Balloon Launch, Pumpkin Patch/Fundraiser to benefit the Baker Family, Square1Art Project, BoxTop$ contest, Membership Drive, & “Name that Bear” contest, none of these events/fundraisers would have been possible or such successes without the support, creativity, enthusiasm, & assistance of our wonderful volunteers (staff, friends, families, students (past & present,) the community, etc.)  While it took a lot of effort, coordination, & politicking for these FUNdraisers, it was all for great causes (i.e. Browning & the Baker family!)  EVERYONE came together to make this a truly incredible & memorable month! 

Please pat yourselves on the back for helping to raise > $20,000 so far this Fall for our school & the Baker Family.  We’ve all been deeply touched & encouraged by the sense of community spirit, compassion, and selflessness observed throughout Browning in the last few months.  Thanks for your support! Browning is the Best! 

Have a safe & enjoyable Halloween!

Best Regards, Your Browning PTA Leaders
