Bear Essentials

Dear Brown School Families,

Our school will be celebrating Earth Day on Friday, April 26. We are so excited to continue this Brown School tradition this school year. 

There will be a variety of activities for K-12 students to learn about.

We will be honoring our mission statement of “reasoned minds and educated hearts” by having our elementary school students actively engage in their own Earth Day activities as well.

We would greatly appreciate your assistance with the donation of empty shoe boxes, cereal boxes, snack boxes , empty water gallon jugs, any small toys that you want to upcycle, etc. so that each student in our school has the opportunity to create their own fairy/gnome house from natural and recycled upcycled materials. 

AND of course we are going to celebrate reading on Earth Day with a BOOK SWAP. Please have your child bring in a book that is in good condition that they are ready to give away and swap for another book. 

Thanks for your support!

To stay in the loop of all of the upcoming Junior and Senior College Rep Visits, please visit the calendar linked HERE to view the current month's upcoming events. 

• UofL reps will be here on Thursday, May 2nd from 9:00-12:00 to meet with every admitted student. 

New Brown Home Athletic Field

Brown now has an athletic field behind Van Hoose. Until we purchase a mower, we will need help maintaining the field. If anyone would like to volunteer to help mow please email matthew.davis@jefferson.kyschools.us or justin.leonard@jefferson.kyschools.us. Also, if anyone can help us with seeding bald spots on the field, please let us know as well.
