Message from Lisa Bernstein, Chair
WHAT A MONTH!!
Wow! September has passed and it is hard to believe how much we packed into one month.
The New Parent Breakfast / AGM was a success! A big thanks to Katharine Lake Berz and all the parents who helped out with baking, coffee pick-up and all the many other tasks that made this event so great. Thank you to Mr. Ellis for the use of the music room and the many teachers for coming out as well!
The Parent Council is always looking for new parents to come out to meetings and provide some fresh ideas for Brown.
The next meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 19th at 7:00 p.m. in the library. All parents/caregivers are welcome.
We also wanted to welcome Gina Christakis as she has now officially set up shop. We are looking forward to a great year.
...And finally, a BIG thanks to Jane Giuliani for stepping in as interim Principal for the month of September.
Deadline for Wrapping Paper & Chocolate Orders is Friday, October 21
Parties and presents galore make wrapping paper an essential item year-round. Reminders for ordering:

The Fall Fling Needs Your Donations!
A great way to highlight your products or services to the Brown School
- Tickets for sporting events: Got season tickets but know you will be missing a game because of travel? Donate your tickets and become a hero (tickets are ALWAYS fought over at the auction!!).
- Free consultation: Opened up a new business? Want a new client? Donate a free consultation of your time and expertise! It's a great way of getting your name out there at a very reasonable cost!
- Show us what ya got! Are the parents or kids at Brown school part of your core target market? By donating your product you can get fabulous exposure (and gratitude!) from the Brown community.
- Have fun: Do you have access to something one of a kind? Can you invite a kid to shadow a vet for the day? Do you know a celebrity that could record someone's answering machine message as a prize? Do you know a chef who could cater a party of 8? Do you know a magician or clown that wants to break into the birthday party circuit? These one of a kind items are priceless and make a big impression at the auction.
All donations will be highlighted in the Brown website and in a catalogue sent out to all families prior to the event. Money raised at the event will DIRECTLY benefit YOUR CHILDREN. It's a win-win situation and we hope you'll be a part of it!
For any questions or with help putting donations together don't hesitate to contact Bettina Hoar (hoarhouse@gmail.com) or Sophie Lamoureux (solam22@hotmail.com).
