LOST AND FOUND
Brrr! It’s cold outside, but do you know where your child’s jackets and sweaters are? If not, please check the lost and found tree next to the gym. There are lots of coats waiting to be claimed. Check it out before school ends this week.
BOX TOP SHOPPING
Everyone can do their holiday shopping through the Box Tops web site. Go to http://www.btfe.com/marketplace. You will be able to shop at many popular places, and a percentage goes back to Brentwood. Anyone with questions can call Karrie Mannella at 468-5746.
MILK JUGS
Milk jugs are still needed for the neighborhood’s annual display of holiday luminaries along Arroyo Seco. You can donate them at collection boxes at Minimax IGA, or drop them at 1211 Dwyce.
FIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Why not join some Brentwood teachers in a Kinetic Fit Camp that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.? The class will meet in the gymnasium. For more information, email sarahstewarttraining@msn.com or call Sarah at 797-1933. You may also visit her web site at www.sarahstewarttraining.com. The class will meet through Dec. 18, then restart when school resumes. Cost is $12 per class, but might be lowered if enough people sign up.
Have a great winter break!! The Bark will resume again after school starts again in January.
