Andrew Larsen Author's Visit at Brown School
Brown School had the pleasure to welcome Andrew Larsen author of many picture books (French and English) and a novel called The Luck of Jude. His picture book The Imaginary Garden / Le jardin imaginaire de grand-papa was a finalist last year for the Forest of Reading contest.
Thank you for your visit Mr. Larsen. You inspire our students!!
The Battle of the Books is underway!
Brown's first Battle of the Books commenced last Wednesday with six fierce teams competing at lunchtime.
Just a reminder to all Grade 4, 5, 6 participants: battles will run Monday and Wednesday lunchtimes in the library. To see which day your team competes, listen to morning announcements or see the tournament schedule outside the library. Win or lose, all teams will play at least two battles. The final battle is scheduled in May at a school assembly. The winning team will then go on to face Whitney Public School for the Duo-School Championship (date TBD).
We have had an amazing response for this first Battle of the Books - 60 participants - and we look forward to seeing them battle...over BOOKS!
Kids - keep reading and keep talking books!
Outreach Committee News
The Brown Outreach Committee has two remaining initiatives in its work with our neighbourhood sister school, JR Wilcox. If you recall, we have completed two amazingly successful drives for this school - a breakfast food drive in the fall and a warm clothes drive in January.
For the week of April 23rd, we will be conducting a new/gently used book drive for JR Wilcox's library (ages 4-12). We ask that you scan through your children's reading shelves for books that they may have outgrown and place them in the bins available outside the Brown Office.
The Committee and JR Wilcox appreciate your donations.
And note, our final drive will be a sports equipment drive held during our Garden Fete celebrations. More to come....
