Memorial Day

Thank you to our PTO who provided a lovely breakfast on Friday for our local veterans who came to speak at our annual Memorial Day assembly.  The breakfast was delicious and provided a small way to pay tribute and to honor those who served  our country.  The assembly itself, organized by grade 5 social studies Department Leader, Peter Bizier, was a moving tribute to remember those who have lost lives in service to our country.  Several students shared essays they had written and Representative Noreen Kokoruda attended to commend our student writers and share a message about the importance of Memorial Day.  Veteran Larry Brundrett addressed the student audience followed by a sincere round of applause from all those in attendance.  The talented grades 5 and 6 chorus students performed several patriotic songs and our 6th grade jazz band played "Stars and Stripes Forever." As always, our student audience made us all proud and demonstrated both respect and honor for our guests.

Coin Drive

Brown students are sponsoring a coin collection to benefit  Vida Volunteer, a non-profit organization that helps reduce the overpopulation of cats and dogs in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala, as well as helping to maintain healthy livestock in those countries.  The drive will run through the month of May, and collection jars are in our cafeteria.
