4th and 5th grade families will take their turn at appreciating our hard working staff on October 4.

Sign-up here to contribute homemade or store bought food items, supplies, decorations, or drinks for our staff luncheon .

Please sign-up ASAP but no later than October 3 so we can plan to buy more if needed with PTA funds.

THE FINE DETAILS:

You can just drop it off at the main office, have your student bring it in, or coodinatate with Patti Westenberg (preisdent@brespta.org). If you are unable to donate food or items but you would still like to help, please consider a monetary contribution so the PTA can fill in any section with no sign ups. You can use this link to donate: https://www.brespta.org/checkout/donate?donatePageId=60dbb231cc33482b8e2fc248

Please sign-up asap but no later than Tuesday October 3 so we can plan to fill any voids. Thank you!

Contributing Food: The first lunch period at BRES starts at 10:55 am, so items need to be dropped off in the front office by 10:30 am to be available to all staff members. Please try to contribute at least 10+ servings of your food.

Label your container if you need to have it returned. We will clean it and leave it in the main office.
If able, label your food with the name and major ingredients: meat, eggs, wheat/gluten, dairy, nuts, etc. for those with allergies.

Don't have time to make a dish but still want to treat your teacher? Take-out favorites have included: Mission BBQ, Hangry Joes, Pizza, Popeyes, Panera, Chick-Fil-A, Everything Bundt Cakes, etc!

Set-up 10:00-10:55 AM: Please be sure you have completed the MCPS volunteer requirements including uploading your vaccine status to help in the building. Arrive at 10:00 a.m. and check in at the front office.

Food, supplies, and drinks will be waiting in the front office as people drop them off.
A cart is available. Additional supplies are available in the PTA closet (Door #145) including serving spoons, paperware and tablecloths.

Clean-up 2:00 PM: Please be sure you have completed the MCPS volunteer requirements including uploading your vaccine status to help in the building. Arrive at 2 p.m. and check in at the front office. Please wash all items that are marked to be returned. There is a sink and supplies in the main office kitchen area. Place all items on a cart for the front office where they will be picked up. Some platters, serving utensils, etc. are the PTA's (they are labeled PTA) and need to be washed & returned to the PTA closet. If there are leftovers, use your judgment on what can be safely saved. Leftovers that will be consumed can be placed in the teachers' lounge refrigerators on the 2nd floor.

Thank you for your time and support! It takes everyone's help to make our staff appreciation luncheons are a success! Questions? Contact president@brespta.org.
