Welcome to the Brown Community!
'Community' may be defined as a set of people with some shared element — in particular, people who live in the same area, and who usually interact with or depend on each other in some manner. Brown International Academy interacts with and depends on its community every day! Comprising students, staff, parents, and neighbors of the school, we welcome one and all to participate.
This page contains information about projects, events, and other community happenings at Brown. Feel free to check back often for updates.
Parent Teacher Organization, Volunteer Opportunities and Hour of Power Learn about the myriad ways you can get involved in making Brown a wonderful school.
| Events Teachers, staff, parents and students work together to organize a number of events throughout the year. Learn about the events happening at Brown. | Brown Community Garden We are proud to be creating a community garden in partnership with Denver Urban Gardens.
This is a wonderful community building activity and an opportunity for
children to learn about where food comes from. Most of our fundraising
efforts this year are directed toward the garden. We invite all
families to participate! Download the application,
fill it out (insert "Brown Community Garden" as the garden name) and
return the form to the front office at Brown. Or, contact Sheana Bull to request an application form. Read updates and view photos! | Chain Reaction “Chain
Reaction” is a large mural on the school playground painted by the
students of Brown International Academy’s mural club. It is the final
product of a yearlong partnership between the elementary school and
Temple Sinai, a synagogue in Southeast Denver. Learn more and view photos here! | BrownElementaryFamilies Yahoo! Group This
online Yahoo! group was created by neighborhood families (it is not a
Brown-sponsored activity) and is intended for families with children
who currently attend or plan to attend Brown. The purpose of the group
is to foster a sense of community for our children and to provide a
convenient vehicle for communication between members -- as well as
provide a forum to voice concerns, plan volunteer efforts, and share
ideas on how Brown families can work together! Join BrownElementaryFamilies Yahoo! Group. (To join, you must first have a Yahoo account. Do this by going to http://groups.yahoo.com/ and following the online instructions; once you have a Yahoo account you can join BrownElementaryFamilies). | Free the Children Free the Children
is the world's largest network of children helping children through
education. With programs focused on addressing the primary cause of
poverty -- the lack of education -- Free the Children
uses an asset-based community development approach to help children
through school-building, health care, sustainable income support, and
peace- building. Brown is proud to be working on fundraisers to support
Free the Children and has plans to adopt a village to assist needy children. Learn more about it at www.freethechildren.com. Read the YouthZone Blog about Brown International Academy! |
