THANK YOU

What an amazing year! There is no way for us to sum up the year in a few lines but what we can say is WOW! The students, parents and staff of the community at Brown have done it all and WELL! We have so much to be proud of as we move into summer and for that we thank all of you.

Thank you for your continued partnership, your spirit and joy as you worked with us through our many initiatives, assemblies, field trips and of course our classroom learning! Thank you for always offering a helping hand and for being at the other end of the phone when we call.  Most of all thank you for trusting us with your incredible children. We could not be more proud of these Panthers and we cannot wait for another amazing year!

Wishing you all an amazing, restful and sunny summer! And we will see you in September!

Warmly,

Jessica & Christine

SUMMER GARDENERS NEEDED

Thank you very much to our wonderful Brown families who have taken a part of our school's Edible Garden home for the summer.  We appreciate your support and dedication to helping make Brown Jr. Public School the amazing place that it is.

We do have more milk crates in the primary yard that need to be taken home with someone for the summer.  If you have already taken home a milk crate for the summer, please feel free to take a few more.  If you have not already taken one, please consider dropping by today or tomorrow to take a few home.

A huge thank you to our Brown parent Aviva Wittenberg for generously donating her time and skills over this past year to create Brown's first Edible Garden.  If you have any questions or concerns over the summer regarding your plant please email aviva@awittenberg.com.  Don't forget to follow the growth of our garden this summer on Brown's Instagram account @brownschoolgarden
