Muddy Brook PTA Introduction

Who We Are: Our purpose is to provide programs and events that grow our school community and bring enrichment opportunities to our children.

What We Do: We host community events, raise funds for field trips and in-school programs, provide funds for classroom materials, and work as a liaison between families and Muddy Brook teachers and staff.  Last year, with the incredible support of Muddy Brook families and the greater Berkshire Community, we were able to provide:

  • All-school field trip to Mummenschantz at the Mahaiwe Theater
  • PreK – 2nd Gr. field trip to Strega Nona at the Mahaiwe
  • 4th Grade 8-week residency program with the Berkshire Theater Festival
  • 2nd Grade Audubon program and associated field trip
  • 4th Grade Field Trip to Mt Greylock
  • 2nd Annual MUD DAY
  • 1st Annual Arts and Talent Showcase
  • Family Game Nights
  • Curl Up With a Good Book Read-A-Thon
  • 4th Grade Yearbook and Moving Up Ceremony
  • Welcome Back Ice Cream Social
  • Teacher stipends for classroom materials
And much more …
Please view our Calendar of Events with opportunities for YOU to get involved and help make this the most successful year to date.  We are asking each family to donate at least ONE HOUR of volunteer time during the school year.
Download our 2011 Membership_Volunteer Form form and send it in with your child.

If we work together and give of our time and talent, we can show our students that we all value the learning environment at Muddy Brook.

The Muddy Brook PTA:  Building Community, Enriching Education

The mission of the Muddy Brook PTA is to positively impact the lives of all children and families by developing and enhancing the role of parents and community in the education of our students.  We bring home and school closer together so that parents and teachers may work cooperatively for the welfare and education of our children.

The Muddy Brook PTA acts as a forum for the exchange of ideas between parents, teachers, and community members to help support and enrich the lives of students at Muddy Brook.  We:

  • Provide events and programs that help to provide a sense of community at Muddy Brook and the greater Berkshire community (Ice Cream Social, Teacher Appreciation Breakfasts, Mud Day, Movie & Game Nights, Family BBQ, Art & Talent Showcase, etc..)
  • Provide funding to enhance and enrich the school experience for MBE students through delivery and support of innovative programs that inspire creativity and spark the imagination of our students in ways not traditionally addressed by regular classroom instruction.  These funds cover field trips, in school residency programs, and arts and cultural day programs
  • Raise funds to provide stipends to support educational expenses in the classroom
This year we would like to encourage participation and membership in the PTA so that we can grow and broaden the scope of what we are able to do and provide.  We are working towards improving effective avenues of communication, formalizing the distribution of our funds, and developing effective, innovative, and lucrative fundraisers.
