We are so excited that we get to do TRUNK or TREAT this year! It’s going to look a little bit different but it will still be an amazing event for all of the kids at both Brook Forest and Butler schools. Please see details below for information:

Please click here to signup sign up if you plan to attend as well as if you plan to decorate a car.

Children whose parents are decorating their car will need to stay with their parents.

Families that are not decorating a car are encouraged to drive through, parade style, past the decorated cars to see all of the creative decorations that families and teachers come up with.

Treat bags will be passed out to each student at the end of the route. Please post, in the lower right corner of your windshield, a sign stating the number of students in your vehicle from each school. (ie. 2-Brook Forest and 1-Butler).

THE PTO WILL BE ACCEPTING CANDY AND TRINKET DONATIONS FOR THE TREAT BAGS (PEANUT FREE CANDY ONLY). A COLLECTION BOX WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE FOYER AT EACH SCHOOL.

As the school moves toward opening for full days on September 8th, they have come to us with a request for parent help to provide support to the teachers during the lunch periods. We have had lunch volunteers in years past but it will look a bit different this year. The students will be eating lunch in their homerooms and they are requesting help from the parents to monitor the lunch period, assist with distribution of boxed lunches and clean up/sanitizing of desks. The lunch period runs from 12pm-1:30pm. We are including a sign up link below to get an idea of how many volunteers are willing to help and on which days. We will work on a schedule and provide further details once we know more definitively what the school needs are.

Our teachers are working so hard, going above and beyond, for our kids. Let’s show them that we are here for them in this small way. Please use the link below to indicate your willingness to help and on which days you might be available. We will make every effort to place you in your child’s homeroom however, we will want to make sure that all needs are fulfilled.
