Book Swap Is Coming March 6th

Our annual Book Swap will be happening the first week in March! This is a great time to purge books your kids are done reading, and have them pick up some new ones. 
 
Here's how it works: Students bring in however many books they want to donate on Thursday March 5th (they will be picked up from classes). On Friday March 6th students will have time to come pick out different books. Each student can bring home the same amount of books they donated, up to 10 books. (Example: If you bring in 5 books, you can take home 5 books. If you bring in 15 books, you can take home 10 books). All students will be able to pick out at least one book, even if they do not bring any to donate. Everyone will get something to take home!
 
VOLUNTEERS! Of course none of this fun would be happening without our amazing volunteers. See the link below to sign up or get more info to volunteer for this event. Sign up to volunteer HERE!

Tastes of the World Multicultural Night!

The event is March 5th, from 5:30pm-7:30 pm in the Briarwood multipurpose room.

This event will only be successful if families participate. Please encourage others to participate as well!

If you have any questions or feedback please email: Briarwood.Popcorn.Committee@gmail.com


Volunteers Needed for Edukits

We are looking for volunteers to head up an Edukit program at Briarwood! Edukits are a great way for parents to purchase their student's school supply lists with just a couple of clicks. The convenience is great for parents and teachers alike.

The prices are fair, and it can earn money for our school's PTA as a fundraiser. The money from any fundraiser we put on goes 100% back to the students and staff at Briarwood. 

Many schools do this, but we have not had someone volunteer to take this on in recent years. If you are interested, please email: PTABriarwood@gmail.com


ISD Volunteer Applications Are Open Now!

In order to volunteer in ISD's schools, volunteers must complete a volunteer application and receive approval via email that their application has been approved. A new application must be submitted and approved each school year. If there is a chance you want to volunteer in any capacity, either with PTA or within the school itself, you must complete this process. You can access the volunteer application HERE.
