Spring Party

I think the pictures tell the story:) Thanks Faith and everyone who helped and sent in goodies! I don't typically take pictures of the students eating but they were asking me to for some strange reason:)

COMING SOON....Read Across America



Read Across America Day Activities!
“Read Across America Day” is held across the nation each year to celebrate the birthday of children’s author, Dr. Seuss. He was born on March 2nd, 1904. 

The Book Swap
In celebration of Read Across America Day, the Media Center will be hosting a school-wide used book swap. On Thursday, February 27th and Friday, February 28th, students may bring in up to 3 books that they would like to exchange. For each book brought in, students will earn one “book buck”, for a maximum of 3. The swap will then take place during the student’s Media Center visit the week of March 3rd, at which time students will redeem their “book bucks.”

Books brought in for the swap should be gently used and age-appropriate. It is preferable that books to be exchanged are on the student’s reading level. For example, older students are encouraged to bring in chapter books—this way there will be a wide selection to choose from. Chapter books are in high demand! The Media Center is also accepting additional donations of gently used books that can be used for the book swap. Donated books will be added to the book swap, so that there is a greater selection to choose from.


Book Character Dress-Up Day
Brown students and staff are encouraged to dress up as their favorite book character on Friday, February 28th. Character costumes do not have to be from Dr. Seuss stories—they can be from any children’s book!

Seussical Jr.,The Musical
Continue the excitement by taking your child to see Seussical, Jr.! The Brownsburg West Middle School Fine Arts Department presents Seussical Jr. at 7pm on February 27, 28 and at 3pm on March 1st.
