Come join new friends and old to celebrate the start of the 2023/24 school year. The Bradley Hills PTA is hosting a back-to-school carnival on September 9th from 5-7pm. We'll have tons of fun activities such as inflatables, art projects, face painting, a dunk tank, food, and more! 

New this year: avoid the lines and order pizza ahead of time! (By September 3). Follow this link to order. 

We are still looking for a few more SSL volunteers for the carnival. If you know somebody who is interested, please have them fill out this form. 

CLASSROOM VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP

Sign up to volunteer in your child's class this year! Each class needs at least two room parents and several general volunteers to support our amazing educators and ensure all our students have a memorable year. Room parents help collect and manage class funds, organize class parties, and serve as a communication link between the teachers, families, and the PTA. General volunteers will be contacted in cases where additional support is needed.

Sign up here and stay tuned for a virtual volunteer training date. Contact Claire Heffez, PTA Board Volunteer Liaison, with any questions at bradleyhillsvollunteer@gmail.com.
