You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give. -- Winston Churchill

Welcome to Briargrove Elementary! It is our desire that all parents feel welcome and a part of the Briargrove community right from the start. And one sure way to do this is to volunteer! We encourage all parents, working and non-working, new and old, to volunteer at school. Any time you can give, even one lunch hour per month, is valuable and appreciated at Briargrove. You will feel more connected and the children love seeing parents at school, especially their own!

Year after year, Briargrove has the best group of parent volunteers around who consistently give what they can with the time and resources they have. How fortunate we are to be in an environment that promotes parents, teachers and administrators working together to support our children’s learning experience. The success of Briargrove Elementary depends a lot upon precious resources from our parents! Come be a part of the fun!

We look forward to getting to know you and would love to know more about what your skills and interests are. If you have a skill or interest you might be able to share with Briargrove, please let us know! Don’t worry; we are not looking for experts, but a little experience can be very valuable!

This is an exciting time at Briargrove Elementary and we are so grateful you have chosen to be a part of it. We look forward to working with you and to see all the wonderful things Briargrove Elementary has to offer our children. See you up at school!

Respectfully,
PTO Presidents
