Many thanks to our fantastic physical education teacher Mrs. Irvine for coordinating Browning’s 5^th Annual Fun Run on May 21^st to support a sense of community, charity, and physical fitness.  All donations collected by the students (>$4000) were designated to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society in honor of Browning 6^th Grader Jessica Baker.

This year, we had a unique opportunity to make the Fun Run extra special for our students and reward them for their philanthropic efforts with a high energy assembly by Radio Disney.  Students enjoyed a 1-hour performance featuring hit music, dancing, “game show” elements, and lots of prizes.  This assembly would not have been possible without the generous support of Barron Industries, Detroit Sausage Company, TDIC, Inc./Waller Family, Goss Family, Schneider Family, Steixner Family, Pugh Family, Washeleski Family, Browning PTA, etc. Every sponsorship (large or small) was greatly appreciated!

Once again, Mrs. Irvine has inspired our students to make a difference in the lives of others!

Best Regards,

Your Browning PTA

Unfortunately, the BINGO Event scheduled for Friday, Feb. 4th has been cancelled.  We apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment this may cause.  We know many families enjoyed last year’s event & were looking forward to it.

When shopping at a VG’s grocery store, please remember to provide receipts or copies to our school. They can be placed in the box located on the PTA table outside of the office or have your child give to their teacher. VG’s will pay our school 1% of total grocery purchases (excluding tax, tobacco and alcohol).

We appreciate the opportunity when a local business is willing to show community support by giving back to our school when you shop at VG’s.

Every little bit makes a difference for our children at “Browning the Best”.

Thank you for your support and participation!

Requests for funding must be provided to PTA at least 7 days before a scheduled meeting (submit online via PTA Website or written request.)  Requests will be included in agenda & made available for member review (via email & website.) This will allow any interested parties to attend the meeting & voice their opinion/vote. If request is not received 7 days prior to meeting, request can be discussed during the meeting but will be tabled until the next meeting to ensure that all interested/affected parties have an opportunity to weigh in.

We are confident that this policy will encourage member (parents & staff) input and will help ensure that PTA funded projects address our student’s educational needs and enhance their learning environment.  Any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

As always, your support is greatly appreciated!
