Our Fee Wavier Funds for next year are possibly at risk, and we need your help! Fee-wavier money is tied to eligibility for free or reduced-price meals and is used to provide resources to students in need. When we compare our application numbers to previous years, we do not have many completed.

We need for ALL Brown School families to fill out Free/Reduced-Price Application, even if you are unsure if you qualify.

Congratulations to the whole team! We are so proud of you!

• Harper Ford won 4th place in Composition.
