Our Mission

What We Do

Advocate for All Children

The RBES PTA was formed with the goal of helping enrich the learning experience and community at Running Brook Elementary School. We want to engage and connect parents and educators alike to build a better, stronger school community through school programs, events, fundraisers and advocacy.

Building A Stronger Community

Our programming is geared not only towards educating the student population but also lending support to our students and families when needed. Our school supply drive, sponsor-a-student events, buddy benches program and other student support activities and events all help us achieve this.

Donations, Fundraising & Grants

During a given school year, we will receive funding to present educational and entertainment programming to students. These funds are generated through donations, fundraisers, gifts and grants the PTA receives.

Supporting Our Teachers

The heart of a school is the staff and RBES has one of the BEST staffs around! We show our appreciation for Admin, Teachers, ParaEducators and the Custodial Team with quarterly breakfasts, the annual teacher's conference dinner and Teacher Appreciation Week each spring!
