Monster Bash Book Fair Recap
Thank you to everyone who came out to shop our book fair at the pancake breakfast, volunteered to help classes shop, and set up and break down the event. We hope all the students love their new books!
With total sales of $13,788, we think this might be a record for Brown School! Through Scholastic dollars earned by hosting a fair, we were able to purchase over $550 in books directly for the library and around $700 in books for teachers’ classroom libraries, as well as provide vouchers to families in need and a free book to each child who visited the fair. What a success!
If you loved the book fair, don’t despair! We are hosting a spring fair in April. Thank you, Brown School, for all your support towards our school, staff, teachers, and students!

Back to School Ice Cream Social 2023
Today many parents and caregivers came together to share cold treats and play at the Brown School parking lot! Kids ate ice cream and got soaked in the rain. They met their classmates and made new friends. Parents had the opportunity to reconnect with others and meet a few new faces. Moments like these are what make up this wonderful community.
