Principal's Message
Dear Brown School Family,
I hope this message finds you well and that you are enjoying the beautiful fall season! I want to take a moment to thank our incredible PTSA and staff for their hard work and dedication in making last Friday’s wonderful Fall Festival a tremendous success! The event was filled with fun, laughter, and community spirit, and we couldn’t have done it without the amazing teamwork and support from all of you. Thank you for helping us create special memories for our students and families.
Thank you again for your continued partnership. We look forward to an exciting rest of the fall season!
Love,
Dr. Angela
