Friends of Broadway will be holding their elections for the 2012-2013 school year on Monday June 11th, at 8:30 a.m. in the auditorium at Broadway Elementary School.

Friends of Broadway is a parent-run, non-profit organization that raises money to support Broadway Elementary school instruction and student activities. All parents/guardians of Broadway students are members of Friends of Broadway.

We encourage any parent or guardian who would like to participate in supporting our school's booster club to get involved! We would love to see new faces and new ideas! Please email us at friendsofbroadway@gmail.com to nominate yourself or someone you know who is interested in the future of Broadway.
