GUESTS FROM DENMARK
We were honoured to host a delegation from Denmark, who work in various capacities within their education sector. They were interested in learning about our operational processes and especially about how we use data to inform our teaching practices. The group of delegates toured various classrooms, with the Brown School Administration team, and were impressed by the fabulous work of our students and staff. |

SAVE THE DATE FOR BROWN SPEAKER SERIES:
EASY WAYS TO GO GREEN
Wednesday October 26th, 6:30 - 8pm
Emma Rohmann, founder of Green at Home, will be delivering an engaging and informative seminar on green living. She will discuss what it means to be green, and outline some of the benefits (for you and the planet). By the end of the talk, you will have some ideas on how you can benefit from living a little more green. She will cover easy ways to save energy and water, reduce waste, improve indoor air quality, choose healthier household products, and choose more sustainable food. She will share ways that you can go green, even on a budget.
Emma focuses on providing practical information and tips without being judgmental or preachy - you can learn more about her at www.greenathome.ca.
