Up to $10,000 earmarked for Wish List items each year!
The PTO is proud to support Brooklyn Elementary’s talented teachers and staff through monthly “Wish List” request grants. Past grants have covered the costs of transportation to field trips, music instruments, equipment, technology resources, classroom furniture, and even hand warmers for recess supervisors in the winter months! We strive to fill gaps in budgets, and provide the tools that allow teachers to do their best work, which benefits all the students and families of Brooklyn Elementary.

Kindergarten: Boogie Board writing tablets for student handwriting practice
1st Grade: Raz-Kids subscription giving students access to hundreds of books at their reading level for use at home & in school
2nd Grade: Classroom seating rug (replacing water-damaged rug) with delineated seating areas to help students stay focused
