Announcements
The minutes from our September meeting can be found by clicking here.
Attention all virtual students! We would love to see what you have been learning in your virtual classrooms! Please share your pictures with us on our Facebook page in the Brown Bears Virtual Learning album!
Due to the virtual nature of the fall Book Fair, we won’t be using volunteers. Thank you to all who expressed interest in helping. These events (when in-person) cannot happen without volunteers!
Changes to the PTO bylaws to support virtual meetings, new committees, and the process of changing bylaws will be presented at the November PTO meeting, followed with a vote at the February PTO meeting.

Thank you, PTO, for spoiling our staff with Halloween treats!
Upcoming Volunteer Needs
Volunteering will look very different this year, but please let us know events you are interested in by filling out the form at http://bit.ly/VolunteerAtBrown. You will be contacted by the committee with specific needs at the appropriate time. Please note that some positions may not be utilized this year.
We have a number of committees that need chair or co-chair positions filled. If you are interested in any of these, please fill out the volunteer form or contact Kristen Bawks or any PTO board member. We will provide as much assistance or information as possible to get new committee chairs started:
Credit Union - work with Honor Credit Union to schedule and assist with the student credit union. If we don’t implement the CU this year, the ground work could be established for next year.
Mileage Club Chair(s) - similar to our old walkathon format. This will be a larger scale event without the fundraising component. Co-chair positions are welcome, and we have a few experienced members to help get you started. This event will not happen this fall and spring is to be determined, but we would still like to form the committee.
Save the date for these upcoming virtual PTO meetings:
November 17 @7pm
January 19 @12pm
February 16 @7pm
March 16 @12pm
April 20 @7pm
May 18 @12pm
