FROM YOUR PTO PRESIDENTS

Hello Brown Community!

We are excited to announce that the Brown Middle School Merch 2025 Flash Sale is now open! See below for ordering details. Sale ends October 26th. You will receive your items 3-4 weeks after the flash sale ends, not from when you placed your order. All orders will be shipped to the school and distributed by parent volunteers! Shipping is free.

Mark your calendars for our first Principal / PTO coffee on October 24th from 8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. in the library.  

The PTO is hosting its first Book Swap! If your child owns but will not re-read any of the summer reading options from this year (or any book they enjoyed over the summer but no longer want), please consider donating. They can bring the book(s) to their ELA classroom for collection, and in the spring we will re-distribute them!

Calling 7th and 8th grade families…we need team parents for the green and indigo teams. Sign up here.

We are over halfway to our fundraising goal. Thank you to those who have donated! You can make your donation here if you have not done so yet.

Finally, thank you to all families who participated in our survey to provide feedback and help us plan this year’s activities and communications. 

Thank you and have a great week!

THIS IS THE WEEK OF KINDNESS!

LET’S FALL INTO KINDNESS!

During Kindness Week, we encourage students to find ways to empathize and foster a greater sense of inclusion within our Brown community. Principal Lysaght and our incredible teachers will incorporate kindness activities during Advisory Group and, together with the PTO, students will share examples of what kindness means for our Brown community.

We invite you to help! Please sign up to join us in the cafeteria on Wednesday the 22nd and Friday the 24th of October to hand out lollipops and spread kindness. It is a wonderful way to interact with students during lunch.

ANNUAL FUNDRAISING APPEAL

The PTO needs your help. Your donations help the PTO to support the Brown community by funding educational enrichment programs, school activities and events, teacher appreciation, and our community-building events. We want to do more, but we need funding to do so.  For more details on our spending last year, please see the Financial Report for 2024-2025 School Year.

The majority of our fundraising comes from this fundraising appeal. For this reason, we suggest an amount of $75 per student, but no amount is too big or too small. You will also have opportunities to donate non-monetary items throughout the year, including for team activities, teacher appreciation, and community-building events.

You can donate through Venmo, PayPal or via Check. Donation options details can be found at this link. Thank you for supporting your PTO!
