Brookstone Parents Association
Our Mission
The mission of the Brookstone Parents Association (BPA) is to promote cooperation and unity among parents, faculty, staff, and students. We encourage parental engagement and service in the school community thus enhancing the understanding of the school's programs - from athletic events to arts programming to continuing education for parents. The BPA provides opportunities for parents to get involved and make a difference at Brookstone.
Letter from the BPA President
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year!
We are excited to begin another wonderful year at Brookstone School, and I am honored to serve as President of the Brookstone Parents Association (BPA). The BPA supports our faculty and administration, fosters parent involvement, coordinates volunteers, and enhances the student experience through programs, events, and fundraising. The BPA also oversees two committees: CougarNation, which supports athletics, and Arts Alliance, which supports the visual and performing arts.
In this packet, you will find information about the Back-to-School All School Block Party, Cougar Kickoff (formerly the Back to School Bash), and other BPA-sponsored events throughout the year. Also included are your annual Athletic Passes, which provide admission to all regular-season Brookstone home athletic events.
As always, there is a place for you in the BPA. Whether you have just a little time or plenty to spare, and whether your children are in Preschool, Upper School, or anywhere in between, we want you to feel welcome, connected, and involved in our school community.
We encourage you to explore the BPA section of the Brookstone website and visit our BPA Volunteer website to complete the Volunteer Interest Form. You can also scan the QR code below to get started! Whether you volunteer at an event, help behind the scenes, or simply attend BPA activities, there are countless ways to make an impact in the Brookstone community.
Be sure to follow us on Instagram (@brookstonebpa) and Facebook (Brookstone BPA) for updates throughout the year. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at bpa@brookstoneschool.org.
We hope you'll join us for an icy treat on the Quad on August 11 and put your $10 Bubba Bucks to good use at Cougar Kickoff on August 21!
I look forward to meeting you and working together to make this an outstanding year for our Brookstone community. Welcome to another great year at Brookstone!
Go Cougars!
