WELCOME SUMMER!

Dear Browning Bears, Families, and Staff-

As we close an incredible school year together, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for making this year so special.

Together, we have experienced tremendous growth, celebrated countless achievements, and created memories that will stay with us for years to come. From academic accomplishments and artistic performances to athletic victories and acts of kindness, our school community has demonstrated what is possible when we work together with dedication, perseverance, and care for one another.

I am incredibly proud of the progress our students have made this year. Every success story, whether large or small, reflects hard work, resilience, and a commitment to learning. Our teachers and staff have inspired excellence every day, and our families have provided unwavering support that helps our students thrive, making this Browning, THE BEST!

As we look ahead, next school year will be especially meaningful for all. It will mark the final year of Browning Elementary School. While change often brings a mix of emotions, it also gives us a unique opportunity to celebrate the traditions, relationships, and memories that have made our school such a special place for generations of students and families.

Throughout the coming year, we look forward to honoring the rich history of Browning Elementary School while continuing to provide outstanding learning experiences for our students. Please be sure follow our Instagram and Facebook accounts for special announcements throughout the next school year. Together, we will make this final year as an elementary school is one filled with pride, joy, achievement, and lasting memories. I know our school community will come together to make it a truly remarkable and unforgettable year.

As we head into summer, I encourage everyone to take time to relax, recharge, and enjoy opportunities with family and friends. Read a good book, explore something new, spend time outdoors, and create wonderful memories. Most importantly, take pride in all that you have accomplished this year.

Thank you again for a truly remarkable year and your continued partnership. It has been a privilege to learn, grow, and celebrate alongside each of you. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall as we begin this special final chapter at Browning Elementary School.

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and well-deserved summer!

With much appreciation,

Principal Ciacchella

Our 6th graders will have their Clap-out on the last day of school, just before dismissal. The students in our building will line the hallways for a clap-out around 11:50-12:05 and 6th graders will exit the building out the front doors! We look forward to celebrating our 6th graders on June 10th!

ATTENTION BROWNING STUDENTS and FAMILIES:

The Browning office is offering a special summer incentive for students to complete as they enjoy their summer with their families. As you complete your "visits" to each of the four categories listed below, have your students design their own stamp for each "visit" and include a description on each page of what they did on their visit. At the end of your "travels," turn this passport into your child's teacher on the first week of school for a prize from the office!

Attached below is a copy of the Browning Elementary "SUMMER PASSPORT" for students to "visit" 12 different things throughout the summer. The categories to visit include:

• SUBJECTS: examples of subject to visit include any activity that pertains to math, science, social studies, Reading, etc.
• BOOKS: examples of visiting books include reading a chapter book with family, reading a book on your own, reading a book to friend, etc.
• EVENTS: examples include a birthday party, a walk with family, stargazing, etc.
• PLACES: examples to visit include a library, a family member's house, a new city, etc.

Happy “Travels” Browning BEARS!

Special thank you to our Browning Bears Alumni and current Class of 2026, graduating Seniors. A special thank you to Mrs. Monti and Mrs. Klein and the NEHS for organizing the Senior Breakfast. We enjoyed a wonderful assembly as well. Thank you to all those students who were able to join in on the fun and return to Browning, the BEST!

This year, our Seniors were able to join in on the kickball game. Since they were unable to participate in the kickball event due to the pandemic in 2020, they were able to join in on the kickball game against their teachers!

Congratulations and best wishes to the Class of 2026!!
