Byrom is participating in a can and water bottle drive for the Caring Closet. Save your cans and water bottles and donate them outside at Byrom to help us provide families in our school district with much-needed shoes, clothing and other necessities.

It would help us tremendously if you could sort your plastic and aluminum BEFORE dropping them off at Byrom!

Restaurant Nights

Comments Off on Restaurant Nights

Local businesses or restaurants partner with the school and agree to donate a portion of their profits on a given night.  You get to have a night out, and the school gets something back.  Watch for flyers to be sent home as each event comes closer.  Some of the businesses that have supported us are Bullwinkle’s, Burgerville, Applebee’s and more.

Twice a year, generally near Christmas and Mother’s Day, a sample piece of work created by your child as a part of the Art Literacy program will be sent home along with an order form.  Your child’s artwork can be imprinted on products from aprons to clipboards at a reasonable cost.  You may also use any other piece of artwork from your child that you may prefer.  (About a 30% profit)

While the Field Days that cap off the end of the school year are actually sponsored by the Byrom staff, the PSO pitches in and helps run the various stations. The success of the event depends on the many willing volunteers who help the day run smoothly.
