A Note From PTK (Parents, Teachers, Kids)
As the beginning of the year approaches, we are looking to fill PTK Committee Chair/Co-Chair/Committee Positions for the 2022-2023 school year! We have worked to create positions, so that everyone who wants to be involved can be involved but not have to give all of their time to PTK. Most committees have a chair, co-chair and committee to help, so you shouldn’t be doing anything on your own! Use the link below to fill out the position interest form! Tell us how much or how little you want to be involved.

Brandon’s Teacher of the Year 21-22
Brandon was proud to announce Rebecca Hurt as the TEACHER OF THE YEAR for 21-22. Miss Hurt has proven to go above and beyond, helping a new 3rd grade team to come together and do what is best for students. Her ideas and enthusiasm for teaching is infectious, and “we are blessed to have her on our campus.” One student, Zay, said she got it because “she is nice.” Another student, Aliana, said she got it, because “she teaches us.” While all that is true, she got it because her peers felt she is an exemplary teacher. Thank you, Miss Hurt, for being a teacher at Brandon Elementary!
