Get Involved
The William Brooks PTA needs you! There are many ways you can help our students by supporting and participating in the PTA. We would love to get as many parents involved in the PTA as possible. Even if you only have a few minutes a week to give from home, we would love your support.
Some of the ways you can get involved include:
Join the William Brooks Birthday Club!
The Birthday Club provides options to celebrate your child’s special day at school. Celebrate his or her birthday or half-birthday by having a personalized 'happy birthday' message displayed on the school marquee and/or choosing a new book from Brook's librarian Mrs. Spero's book box to donate to (and then be the first to check out from) the school library.
If you are interested in joining, please complete this form and return it to the school office.
Attend PTA Meetings
Although you are not required to attend the PTA meetings, attending meetings will help you be in the know! Meetings this year will be held at William Brooks in room 20 (in the front for the school near the garden) or via Zoom, with times alternating between morning and evening.
There are eight association meetings for the 2022-2023 school year, as listed below. We hope to see you there!

Attend Dine-Outs
Throughout the year, several of our local restaurants host dine-outs and will donate a portion of the proceeds they make on a given night back to the PTA. Attend a dine-out so you can enjoy a night without cooking while supporting our school! Check out the Calendar section on the website and in your Friday Folders for information about upcoming Dine-Outs!
Donate
Money raised goes toward classroom enrichment, class field trips, assemblies, the Art program, the Garden program, and much more! We work with the Brooks staff to make sure our kids have the resources and materials they need! If you are able, please make a tax-deductible donation to help support our kids.
