Support
the PTO
Every donation makes a difference.
Enhance your child’s educational experience by donating to the Brackett PTO Fund. Each year, the Brackett PTO contributes to many enriching activities such as STEM, Art Squad, Green Initiatives Group (GIG), Field Trips, Diversity and Inclusion Group (DIG), and the Library Committee.
The PTO funds also supports curriculum enhancements such as math and reading software, Open Circle Program, Anti Bullying & Cyber Citizenship Training, and physical education equipment.
Community building and family outreach is another PTO initiative, including Culture & Creativity Night, ice Cream Social, Food Drives, the Holiday Helper program, STEM night, and music scholarship.
Your contributions can make these programs and enrichments possible for your child this year!
