Thank you to the Parent Alliance

take a breather and enjoy a wonderful breakfast. Thanks to everyone who filled in for the
teachers in the classrooms, supplied food, cooked and hosted!

Brickton Reads
In
honor of Children's Book Week (May 12-18) Middle School mentored Lower Elementary and Kindergarten students in ourfirst
Junior Book Buddies event. We read poems written for 2-4 voices where
partners took turns reading aloudlistening to each other. This kind of artistic teamwork helps students
feel the magic of making a piece of written text come to life.
Peace Picnic
The
Brickton Peace Picnic is Friday, May 30th, from 5:00 – 7:00pm.
Plan to bring a blanket or lawn chairs, a picnic dinner, and have some
fun. We will have games and sports for both younger and older
students. The Parent Alliance is sponsoring TWO bouncy houses, a popcorn
machine, and a cotton candy making station. This great end of the year
event is always tons of fun! In the event we will need to cancel for
rain, we will put an announcement out via email, on brickton.org, and Facebook.
