Teacher of the Month – Marie Rodriguez
Each month, we will highlight a different teacher at Brickton.  It’s a chance for you to get to know the teachers better.  At Brickton, we pride ourselves on building the relationship between teacher, student, and parent.  We feel this is important to the strength of our community.
We hope you enjoy getting to know Marie!


Turn in your Manna Orders!
Manna orders are due this Friday, January 21.  The cards will be available for pick up on Wednesday, Janaury 26.  The following Manna order is due Friday, February 4.  Take advantage of easy online ordering or pick up an order form outside of the business office.  Drop off your check in the yellow box in the main office..
Brickton's profits from Manna sales help fund the Middle School's overnight trips, and your profits help pay your tuition.  We really appreciate your support of this easy fundraiser. 
New Tax Law Includes Key Education Provisions
The tax-cut measure that President Obama has signed preserves for another two years the historic Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. The accounts allow families to earn tax-exempt interest on up to $2,000 in annual savings for specified expenses, including tuition, associated with elementary, secondary, or post-secondary education in a public or private school. The new law also extends for two years the above-the-line deduction for certain expenses incurred by elementary and secondary school teachers. Classroom teachers and certain other personnel in public and private schools may continue to deduct up to $250 for their out-of-pocket expenditures for books, computer equipment and software, and other materials and supplies used in the classroom.
