Important! WELCOME!
Welcome to the new and improved Briarwood PTA website! You'll find lots of great features - to make it even easier to support our school.
Just CLICK HERE to get started
Engrave Your Name on the Briarwood BEAR PATH
The Briarwood PTA is pleased to announce a new fundraiser to celebrate the opening of our new school.

You can have your name, your current or past student’s name, or your company’s name engraved on a brick on the Bear Path outside Briarwood Elementary School’s new building. The Bear Path is located outside the library and connects the school to the neighborhood on 168th Avenue SE. Your engraved brick on the Bear Path will be a permanent record of your support for generations of Briarwood students. Deadline for the first engraving is June 12. Weather and construction permitting, the engraving should happen this summer.

CLICK HERE for more information on pricing and to print an order form.
Field Day is Coming....
Field Day is a huge year-end event for the kids. The kids are challenged to travel through a series of carnival-like events. It takes place during the school day and cannot happen without volunteers running the events. Field Day is a ton of fun and is one volunteer opportunity you won’t want to miss!

Who: Volunteers are needed to help manage events – we will need over 24 volunteers to make field day a reality! Events are simple, but fun (limbo, basketball shots, etc).
When: Friday May 25th. Arrive at the gym by 12:10 and stay until 2:40.
Where: At the school. Volunteers meet in the gym and sign up for various event locations on the school campus. Be early for first choice of events!
Why: Because it is the most fun you can possibly have, and your kids will love to see you there!

More information and details will be sent home to those that are able to volunteer. Click on our VOLUNTEER page to sign up now. You can also email or call Louisa Pardo (louisampardo@hotmail.com 425-922-4244) if you have questions.
Volunteers Needed!
Spring time is a busy time with lots of great PTA events. If you’re looking for a way to get involved and make Briarwood an active and vibrant community, just CLICK HERE for all the latest happenings. We will need lots of help to make upcoming events such as Family Art Night, Carnival and Field Day a reality. To sign up, login to your PTA account on the volunteer page.

Also, as we plan ahead for the 2012-2013 school year, check out our Programs page to see all that we do. If you see something you would like to help with, please email co-VPs of volunteers Katie Breuel,breuel422@comcast.net or Reanu Ranna, reanur@hotmail.com. We love to hear fresh ideas from all of our members!

Every Member Matters!!
Every Member Matters!! When parents are involved with their child’s education, the child is more likely to succeed. Joining the PTA demonstrates your support of the mission and goals of the PTA and entitles you to “voice and vote”. Our goal this year is to attain 100% membership which means we have an adult PTA member for every Briarwood student. Remember: Joining does not obligate you to do anything more than that. Please join and show that you care and are invested in the welfare of our children. You are not required to volunteer – but we’d love it if you did! ... read full article
