VP, Fundraising - Melinda Baggenstos
The PTA holds fundraisers at Briarwood to support the programs and activities that are valuable to Briarwood students. PTA funds are vital to many of the school's functions, and include services such as the school handbook and directory. The Briarwood PTA funds over $40,000 in programs, equipment, classroom supplies, and services each year that benefit our students. Below is a list of fundraisers held throughout the year. Please note that as a PTA organization, part of the fundraising philosophy is that adults are considered the primary fundraisers, not children.
