Broad Ripple High School
PTA


Dear Broad Ripple Families

Welcome to Broad Ripple Magnet High School for the Arts and Humanities.

There are several ways to become an involved Rocket!

The PTA meets the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 in the mini-aud (auditorium). [Oct. 6, Nov. 3, Dec 1, Feb 2, Mar 2, Apr 6, May 5]

The PTA maintains an email list of parents and sends out information as it is learned about school news, IPS news, and other information that may interest you like college information. If you have email and are not receiving them, please email info@brhspta.org to get on the list. By providing your email you can keep up with the daily goings-on at school. Your student might even come home and ask YOU about afternoon announcements!

You can volunteer with the Athletic Booster Club (ABC) to help in the concession stands for football and basketball games as well as some other home events.

You can volunteer in several capacities at school... see list below

  • We have two parent representatives on the SBDM (Site Based Decision Making) team.
  • We typically have a parent or two parents who alternate, serving on the Superintendent’s PAC (Parent Advisory Council). I have not heard yet this year whether that group is continuing. Last year they met once every other month to discuss district wide issues.
  • You can help support PTA activities by participating in a fund raiser... currently we are selling Discover Indy coupon books (in the past, the Zoo Book). They are $25 and if you buy the 2010 book, you get a 2009 book that is still good thru Oct. 31... the two together will save you money in no time!
  • We will sell poinsettias in Oct and bedding plants in the spring. If you like flowers and would like to help in any way that’s greatly appreciated. I’m not a gardener so it’s always rather a challenge when they’re unloading plants and telling me what they are... If it isn’t a rose, tulip, carnation or impatiens, it pretty much doesn’t exist in my book!
