**KONA ICE IS BACK! - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH - 1:15 - 2:00PM**
Our local Kona Ice truck has been a fantastic partner to our Brookvale community so let's continue to show them our support and treat yourselves to shaved ice on Wednesday, September 11th after school! They will continue to visit Brookvale every other Wednesday as long as the weather is bright and we buy more shaved ice!:)
**PRE-SALE FOR CARNIVAL WRISTBANDS - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH**
The Pre-sale for Carnival Wristbands will be sold on Friday, September 13th outside of the front office at 11:30AM, 1:30PM and 2:30PM so that all families will have an opportunity to purchase after their students are out from school:) The price of the wristband is $20 each (only for the kids- free admission for the parents) and that includes unlimited carnival games/prizes, balloon character, a slice of pizza and 1 bottled water! There will be face painting, temporary tattoos, a Raffle table, a professional Photo Booth and a DJ to play music all night long! Wristbands will also be available to purchase on the day of the Carnival, but the price will go up to $23 so we encourage you to purchase during the Pre-Sale! Please fill out the Pre-Sale Purchase form and remit with cash, check or Venmo (a QR code will be provided at the table).
If you are unable to purchase a wristband in person during the Pre-Sale, please email communications@brookvalepta.com and arrangements will be made with you separately.
We are also celebrating Brookvale's 50th Anniversary so we look forward to seeing all of our alums and former staff! It would be amazing to see our alums from 1974 all the way to 2024!:)
**REFLECTIONS CONTEST - ENTRIES DUE MONDAY, OCTOBER 14TH**
We are looking forward to seeing your students' creativity in their Reflections entries! We had a Reflections winner, Angela Zhang, recognized NATIONALLY last year and we have no doubt we could have another to represent Brookvale! Here are the links to the entry form and guidelines:
If you have any questions, please email reflections@brookvalepta.com
Thank you for making it this far:) Have a great week!
