New Tables from Build with Bags Grant

Do you remember that one time Brookview families turned in more than 3,000 plastic bags for recycling? Well, the four new tables near the outdoor classroom at BV were made possible in part by a Build with Bags grant from the Iowa Grocery Industry Association based on those plastic bag recycling efforts by last year's second graders!

A big thank you to student leaders Sara, Lily, Grace, and Harper, whose recycling-themed artwork now alerts shoppers to plastic bag recycling bins at the Hy-Vee Health Market!

Book Fair Fun Facts

Amazing Book Fair Fact: We only used ONE plastic bag during our entire book fair! Wow!! Thanks to all the #BVLeaders who brought their own bags or carried their books out. Now that’s what we call #synergy!

Amazing Book Fair Fact #2: PTO put your fundraising dollars to work and purchased 114 books for classrooms!

Thank you to everyone who participates in PTO fundraisers or chose to ‘round up’ their pennies when paying at the book fair.

HUGE shout out to Kat and Madhu for leading the book fair in such an amazing direction this year. 💜💛
