Each year, the Mothers' Guild honors our dedicated Brophy faculty and staff with a special holiday gifting campaign. This annual tradition allows us to show our heartfelt appreciation to the entire school community — teachers, administrative staff and everyone who plays a role in making our school so wonderful!
Your donation provides the opportunity for over 180 staff members to select their own gift from a curated catalog, recognizing their invaluable contributions. This is the school's preferred way of giving and is also easy and convenient for our families.
