Calling All Panthers!!!
Did you know that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month? Please help us spread awareness and collect fun, colorful bandages for kids that need them by participating in our week long bandage drive at our school. By bringing in a box of fun bandages, you are:
- Helping supply bandages to kids across the city (and beyond)
- Supporting a great cause started by a great young boy, Noah (pictured)
- Bringing smiles to literally thousands of kids!
Two Olathe schools will be recognized as winners. The first winner is for the most boxes brought in by a school. They will receive a "special prize" to be displayed in their office for the entire year! The next winner is for the most participation by a school. They will receive a "special prize" to be displayed in their office, as well!
- Let's see if we can get 100 boxes this year! If we meet our goal, we'll have an extra spirit day determined by students! Hats? Pajamas?
There will be bandage collection stations set up at the entrance to our school every morning from September 9-13th.

Counselor Corner
Greetings Families & Friends!
I hope you are all having a wonderful kick-off to the school year! I have loved getting to meet and visit with many of you and, of course, spending lots of time with my Brougham friends here at school.
I have also begun my counselor lessons and new student lunch groups! I will be adding more groups throughout the semester. These groups are a wonderful chance to talk about a variety of topics, relationship-building, and working through challenges. I work with students who are in changing families (separation/divorce/etc.), grief and loss, anxiety, etc. They are ALL my “Lunch Groups”, though the topics adjust depending on the dynamic and needs of each group. RELATIONSHIPS are the key and my goal is to always encourage and support students to recognize and refine the development of their own unique qualities and social skills within a safe and trusted environment.
I also wanted to make you aware of two outstanding resources in our district. One is our district HELP Clinic. It is a wonderful resource that provides free individual, family, and play therapy counseling services for Olathe students and their families. For more information, please see the brochure! You can also follow this link: HELP Clinic Request
Also, here is another opportunity for families:

Family Learning
The Family Learning Action Team would like to welcome all Brougham families to the 2019-20 school year. We are excited to partner with you as we nurture and grow student leaders! Later this month, you all will receive information that will guide you to reflect on and update your Family Mission Statement. We will be asking for those updated mission statements to be returned the first week of October so we can have them displayed around the building for parent-teacher conferences. We are looking forward to a very successful year, and we thank you for all you do at home to support our mission here at school.

Brougham’s Amazing Artist News
Hello! My name is Lauren Ingraham and I am your student’s new art teacher. I am starting my 11th year teaching elementary art. I am thrilled to be here in Olathe! We will be making lots of fun art projects with many different media. I love that most students have an old t-shirt to wear over their outfit on art day. I also have a set of class aprons that fit most students in grades 3-5. As much as we try to protect ourselves – it is probably a good idea to not wear our fancy expensive clothes when art is the special of the day. If you are unsure what your student’s art day is just email me or ask the classroom teacher!
Artsonia is up and running again this year. You can view the school gallery here. I look forward to stocking it full of finished art pieces you can admire online before seeing in person. You can even invite more family and friends to be “fans” of your child’s gallery. If you purchase items with your child’s artwork on it you are helping support funding for art room supplies which is truly appreciated! If you did not receive an email invite to view/access your child’s online gallery please get in touch with me and I’ll work with you to get you access.
Finally, on a personal note, I want you all to know that I am truly inspired by the creativity and hard work of all Brougham students. I’ve been trying to get to know my new art friends and each day my interactions with students are more positive and uplifting than before. Thank you for sharing your wonderful kids with me and know that I am grateful for the opportunity to teach art lessons at Brougham. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions!
