Volunteer Corner
Thank
you Dave Degand Sr. (grandfather of Sara, Room 100/102 & James, Room 105) for refinishing our community bench in the hallway and a large 4 person table
for the Afterschool program. Rob Arnoldt fixed our laminator for a second
time, so we can laminate materials for the students in-house. Thank you very
much!
Back to School Block Party, Friday September
12th, 5 – 7 pm
Please join us for our Back to School Block Party featuring

Brickton Reads
Throughout the school year many Brickton Staff amass a pile of books for summer reading. You
may recognize some of their picks: the film versions are in movie
theaters and on TV. Erica Lane finally got to her stash on the theme of Family
Dynamics including Jonathan Tropper's This is Where I Leave You. Kathleen Kasser relished her revisit
to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Parent John Joyce read A.G.
Riddle's Origin Mystery trilogy (The Atlantis Gene), and his son Stefan
flew through several superhero books. Many families participated in
Library Summer Programs and Jack Wilcek hit the jackpot by reading
steadily and won an ipad from the Brookfield Library. If
you or your child had a wonderful experience reading this summer and you’d like
to share it with us, stop by and let Liz Skrodzki know or send an email to liz.skrodzki@brickton.org.
Next Monday, Brickton will begin participating in an
8-week program of the International Reading Association: Lift Off
to Literacy. Watch for
posters, bookmarks and other information.
