The Brickton Weekly, September 8, 2011

25 People Answer 1 Important Question
Each month, Brickton will ask 25 people the same question and show you their answers here in the Weekly.  It’s one of the great ways we are celebrating our 25th school year.  This month’s question:

What is your favorite thing about Brickton?

 Brickton’s Block Party!
Tomorrow is Brickton’s Block Party.  There will be fun for all ages: bouncy castles, tie dying, food, music, and more.  Please sign up on the bulletin board to help out with the event. You can volunteer to help set up or clean up or you can bring some food or disposable paper goods.  Bring a crowd!  We want to celebrate our 25th school year with the whole Brickton community.

What: Brickton’s Annual Back to School Block Party
When: 
Friday, September 9th, 5-7pm*
Where:  In the parking lot outside the school

*Keep in mind that this event takes place, weather permitting.  Please call the school Friday afternoon to check in if you aren’t sure about the weather.
