Thank you to Allison Watters, Molly Blake, Jillian Tripp and Jeff and Maribeth Carson for working hard to let the teachers and staff know they are very well appreciated during this year's Teacher Appreciation Week.

This Friday is another round of Dutch Soccer camp in Blue Hill. If you would like your child to participate please download a form here and bring it to the office with a check made out to Dutch Soccer.  The PTF will cover half of the tuition. http://www.brooklinschool.org/ptf/dutchsoccer

June 2nd is the Brooklin School 5k Fun Run. It starts at the school at 12:30 and the kids run or walk down to WoodenBoat and back. We are looking for parents to help pass out water and cheer! If you have a few minutes please come by the school and bring some pom poms. Encouragement really helps them get up those hills!  https://www.facebook.com/events/471644656513968/

After the fun run on Friday, June 2nd, we are going to be setting up for the Yard Sale that takes place in the gym on Saturday morning. We are looking for the community to drop off yard sale items after 3:00 on Friday. https://www.facebook.com/events/132257293968803/

On Saturday, June 3rd come and do some shopping at the yard sale and also play some tennis! The PTF is sponsoring a free tennis workshop for EVERYONE!  More details on this workshop are in the works. It will take place at the school on the 3rd from 9:30 to 11:30 with Bob Christie and Val Chamberlain.

On June 9th, PTF is having a Silent Auction and Dance at Central Hall. https://www.facebook.com/events/274873476275809/

This is our biggest fundraising event of the year. It is also super fun. The SoulBenders are playing upstairs and are not to be missed. Downstairs is a fantastic silent auction. Many parents, teachers and local businesses have donated their skills or items to be auctioned. You can take a look at some of the things we have so far here.
