We are going on a scavenger hunt around the building on Monday afternoon. We will use the data we gather to create pie graphs. In order for this event to be successful, I will need at least 5 parent volunteers so the groups of students can remain small. Please let me know via email, note, or phone if you are able to help out. The volunteering time frame will be from 2:30-3:15 in the afternoon. You will be in charge of monitoring a group as they go from class to class requesting specific items.
Thank you!

Please SAVE . . .
Several parents are already saving a variety of magazines for our class (THANK YOU), however we have a huge need for magazines and newspapers, as well as weekly store ads for next week. We are starting a month long project of collaging the kids' last 10 to 11 years with magazines, weekly ads, and/or newspaper cut outs. If you could please save these items for us, we will gladly recycle what we do not use here at school! Thank you!
We are also starting, as an indoor recess activity, to make bracelets and reusable bags. We need a variety of plastic bags (Walmart, Marsh, etc--the more colorful the better). I've even begun saving marshmallow, bread, and bagel bags, too. We need empty, clean chip bags, as well for the bracelets.

Book Club Opportunity with BHS Senior!
Delaney Arnoldy, a current senior at BHS and former Brown Elementary student, is working on her senior project. She is beginning a Book Club for fourth and fifth grade students! The students in the club will read a book that Delaney will provide with the help from Brownsburg Public Library. They will meet once a month to discuss the book and participate in fun activties that relate to the book. Students in the club can use the book for their class book summary, as well!
If you are interested, there is a parent meeting on Thursday, December 16 at 5:30 at the Brownsburg Public Library. Delaney will introduce herself and will explain the club further. She will also provide time for any questions that you might have that the information sheet sent home on Friday did not provide.
She can be reached at 317-517-2708 or by email at dmarnoldy@aol.com. She would like students to RSVP by December 15 if interested.
