January 28 - February 1 is Kindness Week!   

Teachers will have a "confidential" envelope. This envelope has two letters and five additional envelopes, one for each day of the week, to be opened and read to the class after the news in the morning.  The Monday letter is an introduction letter and the Friday letter  is a "Congratulations!" letter.

At the end of the week we will deliver Starburst candies for the students to celebrate their "burst of kindness!"

Also, there will be a "kindness" quote each day on the news and on the scrolling news.



Pennies for Patients
Starting Monday 1/28 and running through Friday 2/8, Brown School is participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Pennies for Patients program; a service-learning program that gives students the unique experience of working together to help raise awareness and funds in honor of thousands of children and adults fighting against blood cancers! Click here to see the story of Sam, a hero battling blood cancer.

We are asking that everyone (students, faculty, parents, alumni, etc.) at Brown School join in this effort of raising awareness and collecting funds to benefit the mission of LLS: to find cures for blood cancers and to improve the quality of life for patient and their families. WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Click this link for online donations. You will need to create account (I selected “log in with Google” and it was pretty simple and straightforward). Then you can share the link with family and friends near and far, so they can donate too. You can also contribute by filling the collection box coins/dollars at home. Please send in collection boxes to school either when they are full or at the end of the campaign on Friday 2/8. Your classroom teacher will add your donation to the class collection box. There are even some fun incentives!


Thank you so much for supporting LLS and ’s participation in the Pennies program! Click here for more information on Pennies for Patients or other LLS Student Series Programs.
