Some of you may want to shower the Briarwood staff with some love in the coming weeks, but if you need a little help for gift ideas, we have the tools to help you! Take a look at our "Staff Favorite Things" page under the "Teacher Appreciation" tab on the PTA website!

This year, we had the Briarwood Staff complete a brand-new survey, and it is filled with staff favorites, preferences and you can even see if there are any things a teacher may not want to receive a gift. It is really fun to see what each staff members favorites are! You can access this list HERE!

A new application must be submitted and approved each school year. If there is a chance you want to volunteer in any capacity, either with PTA or within the school itself, you must complete this process. You can access the volunteer application HERE.
