A message from Principal Neill:

Greetings BVE Family and Friends,

The Fall Festival was Amazing!!!!  Thank you so much to our PTO, under the Leadership of

Shannon Thies.  We had such a great turn out and the weather was perfect!  We so

appreciate all who attended the event and purchased tickets looks like I am going to be taped to a wall!  As you can see I will do most anything to motivate our children for Briar Vista. 

I would like to thank our teachers and staff members who attended, and so grateful for seeing returning students and families from Briar Vista.  Don't worry if you didn't make it this time, we always welcome Alumni and families visiting our school.

We will have a full week of instruction,

Thanksgiving Break will be November 19-27, 2022.  Your child's attendance is very important in their academic journey, please have them on campus and on time.  I hope you enjoy your time with family and friends during the break.  Have a wonderful weekend!

If you would like to contact me, feel free to email me at cammie_neill@dekalbschoolsga.org

Briar Vista Annual Fund Drive:

The Briar Vista Elementary Foundation enriches our small, diverse, title one school. Supporting the school garden, full participation in field trips, art, music, and science in both our Montessori and traditional classrooms.  We fund capital improvements such as furniture and equipment and organize community events such as the Fall Festival and Back to School Food Truck Festival. We respond to the needs of our community through the Giving Tree and Covid crisis response.  And last, but certainly not least, we make sure our teachers are supported, supplied, and appreciated!

 

This year we plan to:

  • Refresh the Teacher's Lounge
  • Help bring a mural to the cafeteria by parent Teresa Abboud (celebrated artist and children's book illustrator) 
  • Bring gifts to children in need during our holiday Giving Tree drive in December
  • Plant a pollinator garden and improve the landscaping in front of the school
