How much does it cost per member?
The membership fee for BRHS PTSO is only $35 per family, but what we give back to the community is much more. Last year only 13% of families joined the PTSO, but through fundraising efforts, we were able to spend on average, $17 per student on educational support and enrichment programs.
Where does the money go?
TEACHER REQUESTS: Some items or events that are not in the yearly school budget and would not be possible without the help of the BRHS PTSO. Some examples: 50th Anniversary Purchases, White Board, DECA / International Career Development, Rolling teacher/student desks, Science Olympiad, Scholastic Art, Microwaves for students, Rise Against Hunger, Conference and Competition.
