Target Take Charge of Education Fundraiser
Thanks to parents, staff members, and other supporters in the Brickton Community, our school raised $344.76 through shopping with their Target REDcard.  It’s an easy way to raise funds for Brickton where you shop using your Target Redcard, registered to Brickton, and Target donates 1% of purchases to our school.  Follow this link and enter the school ID code: 1851. Use the REDcard anytime you shop, and Brickton earns money.  Thanks for supporting Brickton while you shop!
Getting to Know You: Each week this section will highlight one staff member and their answer to the question: How do you express your creativity?
Cheryl LaCost, Head of School
As a child, I enjoyed playing piano, viola, and cello, though I have not continued playing.  Now I like to sing, dance, write and crochet, but my continuing love has always been painting.  I began with oils, moved to acrylics and in recent years switched to watercolors.  I especially enjoy the challenge of planning out a piece, deciding which techniques I will try in different areas, to achieve the overall desired effect.
Brickton’s Annual Back-to-School Block Party
On Friday, September 13, from 5 to 7:30pm, Brickton’s Parent Alliance is hosting our annual Block Party.  Come join in the fun with bouncy houses, games, face painting, food, music, dancing, a community art project and more! Volunteers are still needed.  Please sign up on the bulletin board in the main lobby to bring food, drink, tables, coolers or to help out with the event.  Look forward to seeing you there!
Cross Country Meet!
The brand new Brickton Cross Country team had their first meet at LaBagh Woods.  They raced with 8 other schools and every runner from Brickton achieved a personal best.  If you’d like to come out and support the team, their next meet is Monday, September 9th at Schiller Woods (Irving Park & Cumberland) at 4:00pm.  Go Team!
