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. When you join the Brooks PTA, you're supporting the educational programs, experiences, classrooms, and fun family events that make a difference for our students and amazing teachers and staff. Our goal is to help every Brooks Tiger thrive.
Joining is simply one way to say: "I believe in our Brooks Community." 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.
There are lots of ways to get involved with Brooks PTA throughout the school year-from helping at an event or fundraiser to joining a committee, supporting classroom activities, or lending a special skill. We’re also looking ahead and building a list of parents who may be interested in future committee or PTA Executive Board opportunities.
Complete our volunteer interest survey below and let us know what interests you. There’s no commitment-you’re simply letting us know how you might like to help, now or in the future. We’ll reach out with more information as committees form, events are planned, and opportunities become available. Every bit of help makes a difference, and there’s a place for everyone!
