The Brunswick Parents Association (BPA), established in 1944, is an organization of parent volunteers dedicated to supporting Brunswick students, faculty and administration through a broad range of programs and activities. Our objective is to enrich the school lives of our sons as well as to build and strengthen our Brunswick community through educational, informational, social and fundraising projects. Many of our events are as much "friend-raising" as they are fundraising. Our BPA efforts touch all aspects of a Brunswick boy's life: academics, athletics, arts and community service.
Any parent or guardian who pays dues may become a member of the BPA. BPA dues and donations are voluntary and are used to fund parent lectures, student assemblies, administrative expenses, and as seed money for various projects. In addition, the BPA provides holiday gifts for all Brunswick faculty and staff, as well as tokens of teacher appreciation throughout the school year. Balance sheets and income statements for the association are available from the BPA Treasurer. The President of the BPA sits on the Board of Trustees as a member ex-officio. The BPA is governed by a parent Board. The Board slate is presented to the membership by the Nominating Committee and voted on each spring. All committee chairs and co-chairs are members of the BPA Board. Each year the Board typically is comprised of one-third new members, one-third rollover members, and one-third returning members, and represents all divisions of the school. Committee heads typically serve two-year terms (first as co-chair, then as chair), and then step down from the Board for at least a year.
News of BPA events and projects appears in the monthly Brunswick newsletter and on this website.
We hope you will join us by becoming involved in the BPA - please volunteer, meet other parents, and share your time, talent and treasure!
Terri DeSalvo, President, BPA
