May 31-June 3

 

Recorder Return

If your child borrowed a recorder this year, please make sure it is returned to Ms. Mac or Mrs. Richards this week.

 

Summer Activities

If you are interested in receiving some academic activities from 4th grade teachers to prevent summer slide, please fill out the form located here.  This would be in addition to the Brown School Learning Challenge that will be handed out at the end of the year.   This is optional.

 

School Store

The Student Council would like to offer one last School Store opportunity this school year. Brown's School Store will be open for business Thursday 6/2. Students may bring in money ($2 limit, please) to shop for fun school supplies, like cool pencils, erasers, highlighters, sharpeners, and more. This event is organized and run by Brown School Student Council members. Happy shopping! 

 

Health Instruction Permission Slips

Health Instruction will be held on Tuesday, May 31. Please read through health permission slips and complete the form at the bottom if you have not done so already.  Please return as soon as possible.

 

Field Trip - Kalamazoo Valley Museum

 

On Tuesday June 7, we will travel to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum to visit the Rube Goldberg exhibit and planetarium. Students will need to bring a mask (the KVM is requiring all visitors to wear a mask while in the museum) and a sack lunch to school.

 

*If your child is planning to receive a sack lunch from the school instead of bringing his/her own from home, please fill out the form located here.

 

Water Bottles and Snacks

This is a friendly reminder that students should come to school with a full water bottle each day; while students can fill their water bottles at the bottle fillers, the water fountain remains off.

Students are also encouraged to bring 2 healthy snacks each day, one for morning recess and one for afternoon recess.

 

Library Books

If your child received a yellow slip indicating a missing library book, please work on locating and returning it.  Mrs. Berry, our media specialist, is busy working to inventory all books.

 

Brown Elementary Art Show!

 

If you were unable to attend the opening, this art show will be on display at Brown School until Wednesday, June 1st.  Please make sure you stop by to see your child’s work before the 1st of June during after school hours.  Thank you for all your hard work.  We are very proud of YOU and your success in art!

 

 Homework Reminder

Homework each night consists of reading 20+ minutes at home (this can be a library book, magazine, newspaper, online book, etc) and practicing multiplication and division facts 1 through 12. Mastering multiplication and division facts is vital to our learning this year and in 5th grade.
