Monday MM - Day E

Good Morning!

Brunson was well represented in the Step UP, Stand UP event on Saturday morning!  Thanks to Jenny for her efforts to organize our students and parents. 

The rummage sale was a success!  Great work by the PTA volunteers.  The T in PTA was Kathy and Lisa for this event.  Thanks for your efforts.   The T in Thursday's STEM night event should be all Certified staff.  I am looking forward to community building and the gift of our time speaks volumes about our dedication to learning.

To promote our Minute to STEM It Dinner - Please expect a visit Monday or Tuesday from a pair of 5th grade students and allow them to read a 2-minute script to your students to publicize the upcoming PTA evening.
