Brookvale’sBronco GallopFAQ’s

What is the Bronco Gallop? The Bronco Gallop is Brookvale Elementary’s annual fund-raiser. It is the only major school fund-raiser, benefiting classroom teachers and PTA sponsored programs. Your participation will enable Brookvale to provide a wide assortment of programs and events that enrich our children’s education and continue our school’s tradition of outstanding achievement.

*** Every dollar raised at Brookvale will stay at Brookvale ***

Our goal is to raise at least $65 or more per student

Most of the money raised will go directly to the teachers for use in the classroom. Brookvale teachers have been able to continue to pay for:

  • Educational Field Trips
  • Supplemental Classroom Materials
  • Reference Materials

Last year PTA spent additional funds on school-wide programs, including:

  • Emergency Preparedness
  • Campus Improvements (fencing, multipurpose room blinds)
  • Red Ribbon Week, Health Awareness, Founder’s Day, Talent Show

How does the Bronco Gallop work? Students obtain sponsors, who can pledge any amount. On Friday, October 19, participating students will walk around the course for approximately 20 minutes. The number of completed laps will be tracked and recorded.

Participants will have until Wednesday, October 31 to collect the pledged amounts from their sponsors. Students may participate in the Bronco Gallop without sponsors, but will not be entered into the prize raffle.

What do we need from you? Parents can help in many ways:

  1. Complete and turn in all forms on time. Permission slips need to be turned in immediately. Sponsor sheets and all donations are due on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Look for forms/information under the Parents tab at
  1. Help your children obtain sponsors. Go with them when they seek sponsors in the neighborhood. Take the sponsor sheet to work. Ask family and friends to be sponsors.
  1. Prepare your children for the event. Remember that this is an athletic event. Be sure your children wear cool, comfortable clothing, athletic shoes, sunscreen, and hats or sunglasses. Have them eat a healthy breakfast and lunch. Encourage your children to drink plenty of fluids before and during the walk-a-thon. We’ll have water and drinks available at the event.
  1. Help your children collect the pledged money. Count the money, verify the total against your sponsor sheet, and return the envelope to school no later than Wednesday, Oct. 31. Consolidating cash and combining the total into one check is most helpful!! Students may turn in more money than their pledged amount!
  1. Volunteer to help with the event. Please participate to what ever degree you can!

Can I attend the Bronco Gallop? Yes! Although spectators are welcome, the best way to see your child participate is to volunteer to help. If you will be attending with small children who aren’t yet school age, you must fill out a Hold Harmless Agreement in the office. You will not be able to volunteer to assist since you will be required to supervise your child(ren) at all times; however, you are welcome to watch and cheer on the walkers!! Alwaysbe sure to get a visitor badge from the office prior to coming on campus.

How do the prizes get distributed? Each student who raises $65 will receive a free “Bronco Stampede” T-Shirt. And in addition, for each $65 raised by your child, they will receive one entry to the prize raffle. The raffle will be held at the Bronco Gallop Awards Assembly on Wednesday, November 28.
