Who We Are

The Brookridge Elementary PTA is a group of parents, family members, teachers, and staff who want to help our school. We all have unique skills, ideas, energy levels, and discretionary time, and we work together to make good things happen throughout the year. We want the children to excel and to know community. We want to keep our school heading in the right direction. We want our teachers and staff to feel appreciated. We want to bridge the gap between the school’s needs and the school’s budget.

The purpose of the Brookridge Elementary PTA is to support the education of students by fostering a cooperative relationship between parents, teachers, support staff, school administrators, and the surrounding community.

In addition, we strive to enhance and support the educational experience and develop a close connection between school, home and community by encouraging parental involvement, and improving the environment at Brookridge Elementary through volunteer and financial support.

PTA’s mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
