Dear BRP families, staff, and community members,

As I reach the end of my term as PTA President, I’ve been reflecting on what this experience has truly meant to me—and I want to share my gratitude as I step down due to term limits.

When I first stepped into this role in 2022, I’ll be honest: I didn’t fully understand what the PTA truly was. This was my first time ever participating in something like this. I joined because, as a mother of young children, I felt a bit disconnected from the world at times and wanted to show up more intentionally for my children while also finding ways to build connection for myself.

What I quickly learned is that volunteering is so much more than showing up—it takes real dedication, consistency, and heart. As I became more involved and began to understand the PTA more deeply, I found myself stepping outside of the “BRP ring” and into the wider city community, building relationships and seeing just how much impact this work can have.

My own children have certainly benefited from my involvement, but even more than that, I’ve been gifted something I didn’t expect: the joy of getting to know so many of your children. There is nothing I love more than walking through the school and being greeted with a hug and a smile as “Noelle, Juliette, James, or Jack’s mom.” Those small moments have meant the world to me.

I’ve also had the privilege of watching your children benefit directly from the work we do together, and of supporting our educators so they can show up as their best selves for our students. Bringing traditions like Heroes Breakfast back after the pandemic, organizing Lunch with Santa, and so many other events have been some of the most meaningful experiences of my time in this role.

More than anything, I’ve learned that a strong PTA is built on people who care—who give their time, their energy, and their ideas to make something bigger than themselves. That’s why I want to be very direct in saying: **we need someone to step into this role.** This position is not just a title—it is the driving force that helps keep our community events, support systems, and family connections thriving.

As I step down, I do so with excitement for what comes next. This role deserves fresh energy, new ideas, and a committed leader who will continue to grow it. I strongly encourage anyone who has ever considered getting more involved—or who simply cares deeply about our school community—to step forward or reach out to learn more. You will not be doing it alone; this work is always shared, supported, and rooted in community.

Thank you for trusting me, supporting me, and allowing me to grow through this experience. I will carry these memories and this experience always.

As this school year starts winding down, we’re already looking ahead to all the exciting things we hope to bring to BRP next year 💙💛

One thing we’ve learned time and time again is that the magic behind our events, staff appreciation surprises, student experiences, and community programs comes from parents and supporters who are willing to jump in and help — even in small ways.

The BRP PTA is made up of volunteers with all different schedules, talents, and comfort levels. Some help at one event a year, some work behind the scenes, and some love being involved every chance they get. No amount of help is too small, and you absolutely do not need prior PTA experience to join us.

If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved, meeting other BRP families, supporting our teachers and students, or helping create memorable experiences for our school community, we’d love to hear from you. Please note that most board positions will need to be filled as our current board reaches term limit, their student moves into the intermediate school, or life takes them in another direction! 🎉❤️

LAST CALL, LITTLE HAWKS! 🌱💵

We’re still collecting “Plant Bucks” for our teachers during Staff Appreciation Week! Think of it as your final lap around the Monopoly board before passing GO. 🎲✨

Did your student forget theirs today? No worries — we’ll gladly accept Plant Bucks tomorrow morning at the door tomorrow! 🌼

Every “buck” helps our teachers feel appreciated, celebrated, and totally worth more than Boardwalk. 💚

AND DON'T FORGET: You can come shop too 12:30-2:30. You cannot beat these prices :)

This is one of our staff's most loved events ❤️❤️
