Welcome Back to Mrs. Nimtz and thank you to Mr. Hartman!
Welcome back to Mrs. Nimtz! She returned to school last week following a medical leave. A huge thank you goes to our long-term guest teacher, Mr. Hartman. He's done a terrific job for us and has become part of our school family. We appreciate him and all of his hard work!

Welcome Mrs. Caplea!
Mrs. McCool will take on a new title very soon: Mommy.  We couldn't be happier for her! We will welcome Mrs. Kim Caplea to our school as her long-term guest teacher this week. Kim is a familiar face around our school and we are looking forward to seeing her everyday with our Kindergarteners.

Book Donations 

Brown School is looking for donations of lightly loved books. Through a partnership with the United Way, we are working to ensure the children of our community have access to books in their homes. In addition, we are in the process of building a "Little Library" that will be housed outside of our school.  This will be a lending library for all students, accessible anytime. We would greatly appreciate your donations.
