Relay for Life - Join Our Team!
School families and staff: please join us!! We need to build up our Relay for Life Team (we currently only have 2 members). To join our team, please go to www.relayforlife.org. Scroll down to “Relay Events Near You”; from there, search for the Brownsburg Relay with our zip code. Then, look for “Relay for Life of Brownsburg.” From there, scroll down to “Striding With Brown” located under “Top Teams.” Then, click on “Join Our Team.” That’s itJ We would love it if you did some fund-raising but it isn’t necessary to join our team!! Also, signing up for the team doesn’t obligate you to go to any of the activities (although we’d love to see you out there.) Can’t wait to see how big we can be together!!
Mary, Cindy, and Nancy
Please send your questions to mkintner@brownsburg.k12.in.us.
Lost and Found
We have several items in the student lost and found. We will be lining items up in the hallways for students to browse thru the items. Please encourage your student to view these items and claim their items. Any unclaimed items will be sent to the Brownsburg Food Pantry on January 27th. Thank you for your help.
Student Council Meeting
Grades 3-5 - ABSolutely Intense Core Challenge
**Grades 3-5: For the 3rd quarter in PE, we are focusing on core strength. Students are assessed by completing as many sit ups as they can in 1 minute. Another PE teacher in BCSC has created this wonderful challenge as an opportunity to work on core strength at home. Students are encouraged to try these at home, but it is not required. As stated on the calendar, students will receive a prize if it is completed and returned. Our goal is that the calendar provides students and families with ideas on how to strengthen those core muscles outside of the once a week PE class!
Thank you, Mrs. McGoun & Mrs. Goodpaster
