Welcome to the Gwendolyn Brooks Elementary PTA!
We are a group of parent volunteers and teachers working together to make the Brooks experience even better for our students. From supporting classrooms and educational programs to creating fun family events and celebrating our amazing teachers and staff, our goal is to help every Brooks Tiger thrive.
We’re so glad you’re here - and there’s always a place for you in our Brooks PTA family!
Because of the incredible generosity of our Brooks families, volunteers, and community partners, the PTA was able to support so many wonderful things last year, including:
Brand New LED Sign - Construction plans are underway!
New Benches & Tables for the Playground - Purchased and pending installation by the district
Classroom Parties, Assemblies, Field Trips, Educational Platforms, Classroom Resources, PTA Reflections Prizes, Family Fun Fair, School Dances, Science Fair, Multi-cultural Fair, and more!
We are proud of what we accomplish together!
Our PTA is powered by parent and community volunteers, and we’d love to have you be part of it! Whether you can lend a hand for an hour at an event, help behind the scenes, share an idea, join a committee, or take on a leadership role, your involvement makes a difference.
You choose how much and how often you participate. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to volunteering - every hour, idea, skill, and helping hand helps make Brooks a better place for our students.
We have opportunities throughout the school year to help with events, committees, fundraising, classroom support, and more. We’re also always looking ahead for parents who may be interested in serving on a future PTA Executive Board or committee.
Complete our volunteer interest survey below and let us know how you’d like to help. We’ll reach out with more information as we form committees, plan events, and have volunteer opportunities available.
The Brooks PTA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and every dollar we raise is used to support our students, teachers, and school community. Some employers also offer corporate matching gift programs, which may allow your donation to Brooks PTA to go even further. Check with your employer to see if they offer a matching program and make a double impact through your employee match.
