First and foremost, this Veterans Day, we’re especially grateful to the veterans in our Braeburn families and on our staff. Thank you for your service and for the example you set for our Bobcats. And thank you to Lauren Messner and the PTB for organizing and sponsoring a delicious breakfast for our visiting veterans and their students before the school assembly. It was wonderful to see you all.

At the time of this post, the community has donated $6,678! We are slowly inching towards our goal! It would be such a privilege to provide every student with free school store in December (if we reach $10,000) and every student access to inflatable obstacle courses at PEP Day (if we reach $15,000)! 

Programs and resources your donations have recently gone towards (and will continue to go towards depending on funding!) are:

~ Jump ropes & visit from Learnin' the Ropes
~ Visit from author Nick Bruel (Bad Kitty series - coming in March 2027!)
~ New bay of swings
~ Fifth Grade field trip to Winding Trails, including bus costs
~ 2026 Fifth Grade Continuation (included end of the year field trip to the JCC, including bus costs, free t-shirt for each fifth grader, bagel breakfast at Fern, ice cream truck, etc.)
~ Fourth Grade field trip (Connecticut Museum of Culture and History) and In-School Program
~ Chariot of the Sun Theater Performance (4th grade mythology unit)
~ Kindergarten orientation t-shirts and back to school popsicle night
~ Supplies and resources for all classrooms
~ Magazine subscriptions
~ Veteran's Day Breakfast
~ Conference Week snacks and lunch for teachers 
~ Community events like Trunk-or-Treat
... and the list goes on!

Later we'll be announcing the winner of our Early Bird Registration drawing!
