5th Grade Parents
Dear 5th grade parents and guardians,
Thank you so much to everyone who has signed up to help with the 5th Grade Farewell activities so far! There are still a few more spaces that need to be filled.
Each year the 5th grade class gives a gift to the school as their legacy for future Brown Students to enjoy. In order to purchase this gift, the class has fundraisers to raise the necessary funds. We still need more volunteers to help with the fund raisers (lead by Brooke Roberts), and we also need a chairperson and committee for the Class Gift. Responsibilities for the Class Gift committee include: Survey the classes for ideas for the gift. Present the gift ideas to Mrs. Bawks for approval and then return to classes to narrow down the approved ideas and for a vote to choose the gift. Coordinate with the Fundraiser chairperson. Oversee the purchase and coordinate installation of the gift.
Please CLICK HERE to sign up.
For any questions or concerns, please contact any of the committee leaders.

Thank you,
The 5th Grade Farewell Planning Committee
Bucks for Brown is Looking Ahead
We are looking for a few more people to round out our Bucks for Brown committee. These roles would be in planning next year’s event and helping secure business sponsors for next year.
We also are looking for a couple of people who would be interested in heading up the spring picnic together. This year would be spent working with the current chair, and next year the new leads would take over.
If you are interested in either committee, please contact Sheri Baker or Kristen Bawks.
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.
Save the date for these upcoming hybrid PTO meetings. We will meet in the media center as well as offer a virtual connection option:
January 18 at 12:15pm
February 15 at 7pm
