Check out a way to help our Earth and Brassfield!

Duke is running an awesome program right now that will allow you to receive a FREE energy kit with lightbulbs and other energy saving tools.  All you have to do is go to this website MY ENERGY KIT 

Scroll down and fill out the information to receive your kit.  Make sure to choose Brassfield as your school.  For every 100 kits that our school requests, the school receives $250! The company also will choose 2 families that request a kit to win $1,000! Also, the school that requests the most kits will receive $2,500 for our school!

Please consider requesting a kit, it is completely free and only takes a few minutes to fill out :)

Need a trackout brain teaser? Give it a try!

You have fifty $1 bills in your wallet, and each morning you go to the store to buy dessert. Desserts always cost $1.25 and the clerk at the store always gives you three quarters as change. When you get home you always put the three quarters into a glass jar.

How many days will it be before you have a greater number of quarters in the jar then dollar bills in your wallet?

The Spring Book Fair is coming!

S'More fun with Books! The Brassfield Book Fair is almost here and the theme this year is campfire fun! Book Fair Dates are from February 24-March 8th. 

In addition, please join us for Media by Moonlight on March 7th from 5-7:30. There will be crafts, games, stories by the campfire by Mr. Wall and Mrs. Costa, and off coarse, S'Mores! Pre - orders for pizza will be sent out as we get closer to the event. Several literacy workshops will be offering focusing on Digital Literacy, writing about Reading, and picking "Good Fit" Books for your child. These workshops will be offered in classrooms around the learning commons. Please stop by with your children between 5-6:30 for some information on these topics as well as fun make-and-take craft for each topic! Also, as some of you may know, one of our 5th graders had a book published and will be at Media by Moonlight for a book signing event! 

As always there will be a "guess how many jar" game which will run the entire Book Fair. Funds raised from the game help buy books for Brassfield students who would otherwise not be able to buy one. Prizes will include a camping themed package and other great stuff!

Backpack buddies food drive will be going on during the Book Fair. There will be a collection box near the Book Fair area. 

Lastly, we can't do any of these without our volunteers
