Braelinn Elementary PTO

Braelinn Elementary School is a public elementary school located in a neighborhood setting. This setting allows students to arrive at school in many different ways: walk, ride with their parents on a golf cart or bicycle, carpool or ride a bus. A large playground and courtyard area is available for students and teachers. The courtyard is designed for use as an outdoor education classroom. The PTO has continued to make additions to the courtyard. It has a podium and benches arranged in a classroom style. A brick walkway winds through the beautifully landscaped area and near a pond stocked with goldfish.

The PTO membership decided that they would prefer a Direct Check Drive instead of multiple fundraisers. In August, the PTO collects funds from each child to help to pay for the numerous school activities throughout the year. The Direct Drive has supported Bingo Night, Movie Night, Santa Shoppe, Cultural Arts, Playground enhancements, etc.  These funds are used for playground improvements, technology needs in the classrooms, the computer lab and the media center, landscape and courtyard improvements, and staff needs and requests. Braelinn is very fortunate to have an extraordinary amount of community support. Volunteers assist in the following areas: hearing and vision screening, media center, school directory, holiday lunches, Santa Shoppe, Café Team, staff appreciation lunches, classroom, workroom, courtyard, school grounds, cultural arts programs, publicity and website.
