Brouillet Gives BACK to Community

In November and December, the Bobcat Service Club and staff have been giving back to their community in significant ways. A big thanks to Mrs. Larson who has been coordinating the efforts of our students.
Here are some of the winter initiatives we accomplished this year:

  • The annual food drive collected over 3000+ food items.
  • We collected 500 some cookies for troops oversees.
  • We provided 13 Thanksgiving baskets and helped many more by finding additional baskets for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
  • Raised $900 for United Way.
  • Collected and wrapped presents for 37 families and their 77 children for the Giving Tree.



Brouillet Marches in Puyallup Santa Parade

This year the Bobcat Service Club and Safety Patrol marched in the downtown Puyallup on Dec. 4, 2010 Christmas Parade. Mr. Farias, Mrs. Larson and Mrs. Brimhall marched with more than 35 students this year and it was a great way to welcome in the holiday cheer. They marched in the parade while blowing kazoos, jingling bells, waving glow sticks, twirling patrol flags, and giving high fives to the spectators. It was so fun, we look forward to participating again next year.

Happy Holidays!

Honoring Students Who Make the Right Choices

At Brouillet we are constantly finding ways to help students make the connection between the choices they make and the opportunities that come there way.

MAKE GOOD CHOICES
(Picture from WHY TRY? materials!)

The Reality Ride is a visual analogy that attempts to show kids and adults that the long slow ride is harder but worth it. It leads to opportunities, freedom, and self-respect. The following video is a snap shot our Fall at Brouillet and the many students who consistently are making GREAT choices.
