Cleanup Day - We have a load of mulch coming in and would like to clean up the school grounds before the first day of school, so we're hosting a cleanup day on Saturday, August 22nd at 10:00 a.m. Kids, of course, are welcome. The PTO will have drinks and snacks, and depending on the crowd we can order pizza too. We have some gloves available, but please bring your own if you have them along with any garden tools. See you there!

Just a reminder that today (Tuesday) May 19th at 5:45 p.m. we will hold our last PTO meeting of the year in the 26th Street Green space. We'll have the grill fired up and serve burgers and hotdogs, chips, and some drinks. Feel free to bring anything else you want to grill as well.

Our four officers plan to return to our roles next year but we can always have more people contributing. If you are interested in taking on any role or project through the PTO, please let us know. We can always use more ideas related to fundraising and organizing projects and events - anything you want to do to make Margaret Brent the best it can be.

Come out and celebrate our school and community for our FOURTH ANNUAL MAY DAY PARTY! It’s happening this SATURDAY, MAY 2nd, FROM 11 a.m. to 2 p.m AT THE MARGARET BRENT PLAYGROUND.

We’ll have a delicious spread of free food, including hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, cupcakes, and drinks!

Entertainment will be provided by HOOPLOVE, who will teach everyone how to hula hoop. There’ll also be a face painter, a mascot contest submission station, yard-sized table games, and possibly even a visit from a BCFD fire truck!

Don’t miss the chance to enter a 50/50 cash raffle (bring some cash to enter) and enjoy the door prizes.

This is a fun event for the whole family, not just students.

WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU ON SATURDAY!

Don’t forget:

TONIGHT, April 30th, we will have another family fun night from 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. The focus is supposed to be literacy, but Principal Smith received many requests from students asking for another painting event - so she will se about that too!

The PTO will have a table set up for a book swap. If you have gently used books that you would like to donate, please bring them and maybe you will find some new titles that you would like to take home. You can also work on your school mascot contest submission, due May 15, to Ms. Johnson, the art teacher.
