Brown Elementary PTO invites you to join our Fall festival as a silent auction item sponsor. We are looking for businesses to help us sponsor items for our silent auction at Brown Elementary. We believe our teachers, staff and crew are essential in molding the future. With that we would love to invite you to partner with us in celebrating them throughout the year.

As you may be aware Whitehouse ISD combines both Whitehouse and Tyler households. With your partnership we would help bring your business front and center with over 90 employees here at Whitehouse Elementary.

A little background about Brown:

Brown Elementary is a Title 1 school and our current enrollment is approximately 600 students.  A Title 1 program provides supplemental funds to school districts to assist schools with the highest student concentrations of poverty to meet school educational goals.  To qualify to be a Title 1 school there must be 40% or more children who are considered economically disadvantaged - our school is currently at 68% of students that are economically disadvantaged.

While Title 1 funds cover some of the expenses for our school, they do not cover all of the expenses it takes for our students to have a fun, educational, and successful year. That is where PTO funds become vital. To keep the burden of additional expenses off of our student’s families, PTO raises funds that go directly back to our school.  Funds are raised to cover 100% of the cost of:

-    Field Trip

-    Class Field Trip T Shirts

-    Educational Field Trips for all students in all grades

-    The Backpack Program which provides nutritional meals to students who are identified as needing meals for the weekend and over school holidays

-    Additional student needs such as clothes, shoes, school supplies, etc.

-    Providing money for lunch account overages so every child is fed every day

-    Showing our Teachers appreciation by providing them periodic lunches, as well as additional supplies they need, and also wish list fulfillments

-    Field Day to give our students an all day outdoor activity event to get them moving and celebrate the end of the year.

We are hoping that you will consider partnering with us by donating goods or services to be used.

If you are able and wanting to contribute we would love to speak further!
