Dear Brauchle Families, Students, and Staff, 🦃

As we head into Thanksgiving break, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for each and every one of you. This season reminds us to slow down, savor the moment, and spend time with the people who fill our lives with love. We hope your break is filled with rest, joy, and meaningful time with family and friends—those precious moments we hold closest to our hearts.

We are incredibly thankful for our wonderful Brauchle community. To our families—thank you for your partnership, trust, and unwavering support. To our staff—your hard work, dedication, and commitment to our students make Brauchle a place where children feel seen, valued, and inspired every single day. Together, we truly are UNSTOPPABLE.

When we return, we are excited to kick off our Holiday Countdown of Festivities! The calendar is attached for you to enjoy and plan ahead—each day filled with a little joy, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of Cougar spirit as we head into the Christmas season.

And don’t forget—our PTA Fall Fundraiser, 99 Pledges, has been extended through Friday, December 5th! Thank you for always supporting our campus. The website for 99 Pledges is - https://app.99pledges.com/fund/henrytbrau2
Cash donations will be accepted each morning the week we return.
The top 3 classes that raise the most money will earn a PJ/Popcorn/Popsicle Party (date TBD).

Enjoy your time off, stay safe, and soak in every moment with the ones you love most.

We can’t wait to see everyone back on Monday, December 1st, refreshed and ready to end 2025 strong.

With warmest Thanksgiving wishes,
💙🐾
