Welcome to the 2013-2014 Brisas PTSO!
Our Mission Brisas PTSO is an organization comprised of parents,
teachers and students. Our mission is to assist the Brisas staff in their efforts to continually improve the education,
health and safety of all our students by supporting various academic, fine arts, fitness and performing arts
activities. There are no fees or dues to join PTSO; just by being a
parent or guardian at Brisas you are already a part of this vital organization!
Thanks to you, the PTSO was able to fund the beautiful Safari themed hallways and the new seating that will be
in front of our school shortly. Plans for 2013-14 include teacher & staff appreciation
luncheons, enrichment programs, and fun family events throughout the year.
We welcome the opportunity to work with you! ~Brisas PTSO Officers

worth a dime to Brisas students? One dime
may not seem like much, but it adds up to a
real change. If 800 students at Brisas bring
just 10 Box Tops this year, Brisas would earn
over $800.00!
Clip Box Tops coupons from participating
products and send them back to school in
