To help your child participate in classroom technology activities, please send in a pair of USB-C wireless headphones for school use, if you have not already. They do not need to be expensive...any affordable pair will work! Five Below, Ollies, Target, Walmart, etc., all have many affordable, yet durable options for the limited time they will be used. This allows students to work quietly alongside each other when iPads are used in the classroom setting. Please be sure to clearly label the headphones with your student’s first and last name so they can be easily identified.

Brown's has been recognizing outstanding teachers in York County for over a decade. Students & families send in nominations and we randomly pick a winner each month. Our October Teacher of the Month is Fourth Grade Teacher, Mrs. Sauls. She was nominated this year by Paisley Stoltzfus and former student Peyton Bortner. She was also nominated in the 2018-19 school year by Ty Baker. We were able to surprise Mrs. Sauls during school this week with Mary Brown and Linda Gallagher with a Brown's Gift Basket and apples for her class. Congratulations, Mrs. Sauls!

Once again, the Spring Grove School District has partnered with Family First Health to provide school dental exams including cleaning, x-rays, preventative care and sealants. Parents will receive a dental report after the dental exam and information on where to receive further treatment if needed. Families without insurance will not need to pay for dental services provided at school. For families with insurance, your insurance will be billed, but there is no out of pocket cost to you for services provided at school.
