The sun always shines on Brookside

The Sunshine Committee

The crew that stocks the lounge, funds the meals, and reminds our staff that they're absolute rockstars all year long.

Because the Brookside team works super hard, and they deserve better than whatever expired yogurt is lurking in the staff fridge.

What does Sunshine do?

Keeping our entire school running smoothly, safely, and joyfully every single day takes an incredible amount of dedication from our whole staff (plus a whole lot of caffeine).

That's where the Brookside Sunshine Committee swoops in!

We're not just stocking the lounge; we're providing the lifelines. We're keeping the coffee flowing and supplying snacks that provide the exact energy needed to calmly manage 20 small humans hopped up on Bobcat Walk day.

What Your Donation Actually Funds:

  • Lounge Restocks & Treats: Keeping our educators caffeinated, armed with snacks, and smiling all year long.

  • Conference Week Meals: Providing a civilized meal for staff who haven't sat down since 7:30 AM (saving them from stress-eating Goldfish at their desk).

  • Little Bits of Comfort: Celebrating milestones and reminding our incredible staff that they are beloved humans—after they’ve spent seven straight hours managing our kids.
