🚨 Gator Glow Dance Fit Fundraiser Alert! 🚨
McBrayer Families, we’re in the final stretch and we need your help! 🐊✨ Our goal is to raise $10,000 for outdoor improvements and new playground equipment—because every Gator deserves a place to learn AND play. Without these funds, we can't make these purchases.
Here’s how YOU can help:
1️⃣ Register at mybooster.com
2️⃣ Share with family & friends
3️⃣ Make a donation, or encourage others to!
McBrayer Elementary School PTO will conduct an election for the SBDM Council on Monday, September 16, 2024. Two parent representatives will be chosen for the 2024-2025 school year. Voting will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 5-6:30 p.m.
Any parent of a child currently enrolled may vote to elect the parent council members.
A parent council member shall be a parent, stepparent, foster parent, or legal guardian of a student attending the school during the council member’s term of office. A parent is ineligible if they are an employee or a relative of an employee (father, mother, brother, sister, husband, wife, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, son-in-law and daughter-in-law) of that school or for the district office, or a local school board member or the spouse of a school board member.
🎉 First Day Lunch Success! 🍽️
Our little learners at McBrayer Elementary had a fantastic time at their first school lunch today! From making new friends to trying new foods, it was a day full of smiles and excitement. We're so proud of how well they're adjusting to school life.
Ideas families can use to help their children this school year!
