The Braintree Buzz
Principal's Update
Braintree students are finishing the year strong! As part of our collaboration with Clemmons Family Farm, we welcomed a spoken word artist to the building. She wrote poetry with students in kindergarten through grade six.
Medication Pick Up
Summer Garden Care
One way to support Braintree is to tend our garden beds over the summer. Volunteers visit ~2 times during the week to complete any necessary watering or weeding. Without family support to maintain the gardens, there will be no produce or flowers in the fall. Please consider taking on a week!
Brookfield Public Library Events
Love graphic novels? Crazy about cartoons and comics? Come work with Ashley Jablonski, a
teacher and graduate of The Center of Cartoon Studies. Ashley will teach the basics of comics;
including story-writing, character and world building, panels, and so on. Each participant will
design a comic of their own to copy and share with others in the workshop. We will also learn
how to fold the comics into a small zine/comic, and there will be examples of how other
cartoonists make comics and zines. Ashley will also bring some of her work to show.
This is a series of two Sunday afternoon workshops, free of charge, to be held on Sunday June
18th and Sunday June 25th, from 5:00-6:30 pm at the Brookfield Old Town Hall. The second
workshop will build on the skills of the first. Both are hosted by the Brookfield Free Public Library
who will provide all the necessary materials. People aged 9 and above are invited to attend!
Farm to School
Farmer Anne was back in the building this week! She worked with students to weed and plant our garden beds.
