Thank You Corner
Thanks to the students’ efforts, we raised $348 for UNICEF. That is enough to buy 3 bicycles to deliver medicine, 50 vaccinations, 6 soccer balls, and some protein biscuits. Well done, Brickton!
Breakfast With Santa
Join us for our annual Breakfast with Santa, for a delicious continental breakfast, photos with Santa, caroling and craft activities for the children! The Breakfast with Santa celebration features a Bake Sale Table. Volunteers are needed to support this event – from assisting at the craft table to creating delectable homemade treats for the bake sale. Sign-up sheets are located on the hallway bulletin board. Please contact Kelly McDermott with any questions.

Scholastic Book Fair
Our Scholastic Book Fair is coming up: Monday, December 8th – Thursday, December 11th. In preparation for this Book Fair, we are asking for volunteers to help set up on Saturday, December 6th, immediately following Breakfast With Santa. It is not a huge job but requires as much help as possible. With enough help, the work is over in about 45 minutes. This is such a successful fund raiser for our Upper Elementary students, and it all begins with setting up an inviting display up of books. If you would like to volunteer, please email Katie Rose in the 9-12 classroom.
Gift Cards For The Holidays
Take the pressure off your holiday planning and give gift cards! We have a large selection available in denominations from $5 to $100. The order forms are bright pink and in a bin outside Dotty's door. Complete your order form and attach a check (or call Dotty with your credit card information) and drop the order off at the front desk or at Dotty's office. The order dates before the holidays are November 21st, December 8th and December 15th.
Brickton Reads!
The hallway prefix tree at Brickton features RE. If, like many, you are REthinking your budget, Brickton offers Book Sales and Manna cards. During our REcent economic REcession, REsale/REcycle have gained new REputations.. UPper Elementary students talk about UPcycling! In fact, all classrooms at Brickton REgularly play with words. "Homonym Alert" is often heard in Lower Elementary. They like to "stare at stairs" and find a "sale on sails." National "Knock Knock" day is Halloween but Lower Elementary will be celebrating this month and feature Silent Letters. Reading Rockets has great selections with witty word play. http://www.readingrockets.org/articles/books/c350.
