This annual holiday gift-giving campaign allows parents and students to express their collective appreciation to the many people who enrich the lives of our students every day at school! 

For example, did you know that in addition to our homeroom teachers and specials teachers, Briarlake also has interrelated teachers, ESOL and exceptional education teachers, paraprofessionals, and ASL interpreters, all of whom your student may be interacting with regularly at school?

Not to mention - of course - our administrators, front office staff, counselor, school nurse, school psychologist, cafeteria specialists, custodians, band and orchestra teachers, and our lovely literary librarian! 

Funds collected during the Holiday Gift Campaign will be distributed (equitably on a tiered basis) in the form of cash bonuses to faculty and staff just before the holiday break.

You can, of course, always choose to express your appreciation directly instead or even in addition to our campaign!  We will create another appreciation campaign for National Teacher Appreciation Week that occurs in the first week of May each year.
