THE FIRST PTO MEETING  IS NEXT WEEK

SEPTEMBER 24, 2018
6:45pm New Parent Orientation
7:15pm General Meeting

Our first PTO Meeting of the year will take place on September 24 in the East Brook Media Center.  Families that are new to East Brook should plan to arrive at 6:45pm for a helpful New Parent Orientation.  The general meeting will commence at 7:15pm.  Please note, childcare will be available in the East Brook Multi-Purpose Room for the duration of both meetings.

The first meeting of the year is a great time to receive an update from Dr Gamper and Mr Stokes, review what the PTO has accomplished, and discuss what we can look forward to in the coming year.  We will take a look at proposed projects and fill any positions that remain open.  An agenda will be posted on the PTO website prior to the meeting.  In the meantime, if you have any questions or items for discussion, please email the PTO Board!


THIS WEEK

DAY OF GOLD

SEPTEMBER 18, 2018

East Brook supports Josephine's Garden and the fight against Pediatric Cancer.

Students who wish to participate should wear GOLD or YELLOW and bring a suggested donation of $3.  All money will go directly to Josephine's Garden at Hackensack University Medical Center.   Last year, thanks to the generosity of our community, East Brook raised over $2000 for this wonderful cause.
