Thanks
Thank you to the volunteers who helped smooth out the bus routines the first week of school. The first few days of figuring out new routines are always tricky!
We would like to thank Kate Baum for her support at the ice cream social!
Thanks to all who have brought in supplies for the art room, the art teachers are very appreciative of all the donations!
Announcements
Bear Wear Sales
Bear Wear sales are now open! The store will remain open through Monday September 27. Visit the online sales page here https://bes2021fall.orderpromos.com/. Orders will be delivered to the school at the end of October. Let’s go Bears!
Upcoming Events
Most of our PTO events for the school year are already scheduled and can be viewed here. If you would like to help with any of these events, you can indicate interest through our form here.
Event Coordinators
We are looking for coordinators for a few of our PTO events. If you are interested in any of the positions below, please fill out a volunteer form! The PTO board will provide you with information to get started coordinating these events.
Celebrate Our Stories - a single evening event to celebrate our cultures.
Credit Union - this is a low time-commitment position. We need someone to schedule credit union days with Honor Credit Union and to participate in the student helper application and interview process.
Mileage Club - coordinate this twice a year lunchtime event. There is a lot of information available to get started with. This event is similar to the old Walk-a-Thon without the fundraising aspect.
Variety Show - coordinate try-outs, rehearsals, and two performances. This would be best with co-coordinators. We have information and contacts from previous years to get a new coordinator started.
Reminders

Our school is partnering with First Congregational Church to offer “Bear Packs”, a weekend supply of nutritious meals and snacks for children in need, free of charge. The program runs all school year long and is available to all Brown School students, as well as their siblings. It’s our hope that these resources will support the well-being and achievement of every student who is a part of this program.
Enrollment is confidential. Only the school administrators and individual classroom teachers know which children are participating. The Bear Packs will be distributed each week in a discreet and caring manner.
If you would like your child/children to participate in the program, please complete the form below and return to the school office no later than September 29th. Forms will also be distributed at Back to School Night, or will be sent home if you are unable to attend that evening.
